The cycle continues. Every so often they get into a situation where they lose trainers who want to return to the "good life" on the line. Reasons have varied from line pilots making copious overtime which more than made up for the appointment pay, to overwork in the training ranks and not abiding by the promised rules for training.
What hasn't varied, however, is the company response to said problem. Faced with the decision to treat/reward the minority (i.e. trainers) better, or the majority worse they have always decided on the latter. Cue O/T threshold moved to ridiculous levels, roster micromanagement, manual insertions, and now this.
I heard LB advised some who intended to resign from training recently to hang in there, as the new rostering system would be crap for line pilots as compared to trainers.
Truly cost neutral on the books. Short term anyway. Well done.
