Thank you keepitrealok...
Many have been welcomed into the 'new world mantra', after the grounding and lockout, the same management now proclaim it is all different.. Previously loud voices have been silenced by becoming uniform models and such. It takes very little to stroke some egos.
The irony is subtle and lost on most, but it is power play and from my perspective, HR are winning, flight operations a department in a company of departments, all fighting for resources.
HR being what they are see pilots as 'necessary evils'. Just ask them quietly though; pilots have very little input on the performance of the organisation, Battles are won at their desks. Despite a sea of empty desks every weekend as the HR people enjoy their weekends, the reality is airlines generate the revenue they earn, whether those desks are occupied or not..It is and always has been the operational staff that generate revenue. Other than a cost shift to prospective candidates for interviews tests and the like, HR do not generally generate revenue, but you can bet they consume it
Corporate power plays are just that and I think it very important that prospective talent recognise the game they are playing when they apply to the group website..
