Don't worry, we are not cost-cutting just eliminating waste.
1) Frog march hand picked pilots in for a review and surprise, surprise no one wants a pay rise after 6 years. Somehow only new hires get the 15% pay increase that is necessary to attract the new 'price of fish'!
2) Officially cabin crew get minimum 8 days off and pilots get 7 days off!
3) After 3 years for cabin crew, finally pilots get live leave!
4) Issue warning letters to engineers to work on days off then delete their overtime!
5) Threaten the head of HR and fire him twice because he's doing a lousy job recruiting the best of the best for the last 15 years. Incidentally, he is now the head of operations for Norwegian and has a penchant for Emirates pilots.
6) Terrorize fleet operations and have a SVP and a senior manager quit in the same month. No post holder for operations willing to step up so shaft a former chief pilot.
7) Leave suddenly available for pilots after 3 years of none. Genius banana management parking 60+ airplanes worldwide because of massive overcapacity. This is uber worrying.
8) 40 pilots a month quitting and out of 60 interviewed, 30 invited, only 3 show up for training!! Anyone willing to fly for double crossing, stealing, lying, 105 hrs a month, 7 days off, 10 days of leave?
9) Launch a Windows EPT even the authority are saying is a totally useless platform and will never get approval. Massive Li-ion batteries just to keep them going for longer than 2 hrs!
10) Ransack rosters with shared rest days, minimum rest between duties, turn arounds landing at midnight before leave, airport hotels only and roster 2 weeks of leave with 80 hrs of flying!
11) Bidding and swap system with so many mickey mouse rules nothing is legal!
12) The shiny new company portal references an original beta portal via links using Internet Explorer 1995! Where is my roster or email?
13) Training department now looking for 6 month Captains for 500 aed a training duty with brand new 2 stripe turboprop pilots! Does anyone else think this is going to end well?
Nothing to see here folks, just the total loss of faith on an ever larger group of people, first engineers only, then flight operations, now the whole company ...
You couldn't make this stuff up! From one of the finest airlines in the world to a laughing stock in 3 short years. I'm disappointed I tied my hopes to this sinking ship.
