They have been in business for 18 months, supposed to get 1 new plane every quarter. that has stopped - being blamed on sars etc, then they furloughed 12 pilots in June again because of sars and bookings down over 80%. As soon as the furloughs were into effect the bookings suddenly magically were back to normal numbers but our flying schedule because of the furloughs increased by 30%. Our schedules are lines built 5 days on 2-4 days off with the first day on being a early show and the last day on being a very late arrival making it almost impossible to commute. They also call one on a reserve day to assign trips on days off. Nasty tactics.
Very poor moral with every pilot looking to leave, dispatcher turnover 60% 3 station managers so far this year.
Glad to have a job but tired of being treated like a third class citizen.
