It's the same 6-7 guys in here (some are probably the same person) that keeps on moaning despite the fact that there are plenty of jobs at home but they choose to stay. Either due to the fact that they are rejected everywhere else or due to the low costs of living and the almost taxfree salary of 12k euro per month, and the 2 hours business class trip home. Going to Africa once every other month stinks but so do the Irish, far East and the Sandpit.
The market has started to pick up and alot of pilots are unhappy due to the slow rate of improvements in T&Cs.
Some start their posting here saying that they only have "friends" working in the various troublesome companies, after a couple of debates, it turns out that they are actually working there.
Everyone is moaning about massive problems with low moral, massive attrition rates and the likes everywhere but when you look at the facts... airlines like EK, TK etc appears to be employing almost 4 new pilots per resigning pilot. I suspect that this moaning is to keep the attrition up, recruitment low so that they can enjoy the increased T&C themselves, which makes sense if you consider yourself underpaid or overworked.
Don't get me wrong, TK is a big mess in many aspects but talk to people working there before making a decision after getting the big picture. The guys on here moaning aren't philantropists guarding your quality of life, they just want better T&Cs for themselves. Alot of what is said here however is true. Alot isn't.
