Sticking strictly to the initial question... All we see here are nothing but improvements, EVERYTHING the chief pilot promised on those flight crew meetings were accomplished and some surprises came along as well, like the increase on the housing allowance.
The list of improvements over the past year:
- Salary increase
- Education Allowance increase
- Hosing allowance increase
- Overtime paying
- ID90 tickets for up to 15 friends (effective on August)
- New company accommodations at The Pearl available
- International retirement plan
- At least 4 consecutive days off on a month guaranteed
- 50% pay for cargo dead heading repositioning.
- Business Class guaranteed for cargo dead heading repositioning.
- Online management of leaves, allows realtime leave period swaps and changes.
That's all I remember from the past year, sure there is a lot to be improved but for such a short period of time I find the list quite extensive.
I'm not going to discuss if here is a good place to be or not, this is a personal decision and will vary immensely from people to people. Most important thing is to research a lot and talk to people living here.
Good luck!
