Text doing the rounds

Any truth to any of the information in the text that's floating around r.e. CM and his supposed meeting with senior local crew members?

No truth at all.

It seems some skipper put this hoax text out there. A warped sense of humour.

An FO showed me this "message" and to me it read like a fairy story, so obviously made-up. Yet so many people believe it.

Do they really think this Mueller guy came here to make our lives better, like some German Santa Claus? Don't they realize where and for whom we work for?

Get a grip people!

I doubt it. Plan all along was to blame sub-continent folks if things go south. Most accept that because they are part of the problem. All he need to worry about are exit visa and escrow account.

I'm pretty sure that, for now, Big M is trying to solve bigger problems than we have in Flt Ops. After all, the aircraft are still (mostly) flying and it must be one of the most productive departments in the company given how many hours we are all doing. No doubt he will get to us in due course- then it might be a case of be careful what you wish for.

I know for a fact that AAR is setting up another 'meeting'with flightdeck crew OCT18.

I wonder who is going...

Will CM attend?

SS the medical premiums went up....should make up for costa profits going down, so another cost neutral pay cut.
Limited days off around leave decision reversed for cabin crew, but still in place for flight deck. So we can feel special.
The planned part times rosters have officially been canned, before ever seeing the light of day.
From a reasonable HR source, an average of 22 pilots leaving per month. Which is just shy of 45% of the new joiner number. But that is considered cost effective.

Same HR source. Reasonably reliable.

Eh? "Part-time"?

I must have drowsed through that - do you mean they are (had been?) considering rotational-type rosters?

Haven't you noticed that when the Asian Airlines (and ME & UK & Europe now for that matter) are about to start interviews the Part-time roster rumour almost always starts circulating.

I wonder by whom?

I'm sure it has successfully encouraged more than just a few candidates to postpone their departure plans (in the hope it is true).

The Ek HR machine at work again.

A lot of people have to leave. And not precisely at the bottom of the food chain, since there ain't many left. They have miserably failed. Wait 'til November 10th announcement.
