FAs getting fired
After Sept. 11th new FAs at our company were hired on 1 year contracts. Our company is said to be haemorrhaging money, and management tells us we need to save.
So last week middle management has started phoning the 1-year contracters to tell them they're out. Dole office next destination.
Our top management awarded themselves some whopping great bonusses over the past fiscal year.
I've had the first crying FAs in my crew. Through the coming months there will be many more. And I will do my best to console them and say whatever words of comfort I can find for people who see both their dreams and livelihood go up in smoke.
I want to be loyal to the company where I have worked for 22 years, but for the life of me I can not in good conscience defend the company management practices that are now revealed in the national press.
Young FAs who work their butts off for little pay, get fired.
Old men who have made a balls up of their jobs of running my airline get millions of €€€.
Feeling somewhat bleak here.
