"Take it or leave it "is the music playing at the moment and that's why guys are leaving.No reason to complaint...organise yourself and get ready to go like many guys are doing.Airbus fleet is a no go in my opinion....If you join It you are going to fly like hell with 7-8 days off/month.The near future will see airbus fleets flying to the subcontinent and the gulf while the super one together with Boeings going to the good places .Layover allowances are based according to the continent you fly to...guess who make less money.You see people everyday going to work as they would go on holiday and people going for the 6th consecutive day of work before their SINGLE day off or something close to that ...facts!
No rewards for the hard workers in terms of fleet change at least everybody would swallow the same crap...you joined on the wrong fleet or you where not enough connected...shame on you.
Now ask yourself these questions and make up your mind to find if it is Worth staying/joining...
Can you see yourself lasting a career timeframe getting 7-8days off,consecutive nights or early morning, late nights and minimum rest 80%of your yearly roster ?Is it worth staying and going to work when you are aware that there are different standards of living according to the Fleet you are on And no matter how bad it is you will only get by your managers these words"yes we know it is hard work"to make you happy at that particular moment.Yes they have to be blamed but unfortunately the kind of operations airbus fleets are involved into do not allow any major improvement so once again....Provided the basic standards of living are guaranteed(personal security ,social security,healthcare,schooling etc)If you have to struggle and work your back off Would you rather be doing it at home or where you really get rewarded?
Thankfully life is still good and too short so you better think about it
