Air Asia A Con Job

Airasia A Con Job
I just came to know this.

The Best airlines in the world airasia...they send their pilots to toulouse for the A340 type rating..

do you all know what they ask from their pilots?????????????


"CAN YOU PAY FOR YOUR HOTEL AND PERDIEM FIRST AND WHEN YOU GET BACK WE WILL REIMBURSE YOU AFTER 2 MONTHS.."

what kind of con job is this..i have never heard of this before..

no matter how small an airlines is but no one has ever done this..no matter its in the good times or bad times..

even worst this airlines has 80+ aircrafts and claim to be the best..

what a load a cr*p...

that fat bl++dy useless ceo goes around driving flash cars and sponsorsF1 team...and WHAT HE DOES by asking their pilots to pay first for their traninng accomadation...

this is just utter RUBBISH...

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ONE OF THEIR MANAGEMENT BACK THEIR CEO UP..

I hear your bonded even if your fully qualified. It looks as if the employees are a profit center for the company.

It's the new business model for airlines driven by the world economic recession. That's the reality which the airlines (not just us pilots) are coming to face up to and accept.

No prizes though for guessing whether they will do a U-turn when the economy recovers. It's just pure business sense.

Famous quote : "What's done is done and cannot be undone."

Well just the other day an AA taxing into KLIA requested for a certain parking stand at the LCC terminal, only to be told by the ground control to "tell tony to settle the parking charges before you'll be allowed to park there". Ouch!

So who is cleverer now? The pilot who allow to be prostituted by the company or the managers/bean counters/CEO who really know how to make money out of the pilot group .............

As far as some pilots go, PT Barnum said it best, many years ago....'there is a sucker born every minute'.
True then, true now.
Will this change?
Hardly likely.

And so it goes....

EGOS

"I'll never pay for training" the comments of the few, the proud, the fools. Boys this is just a sign of the times and economic facts for some companies to stay in business. Those who have what it takes to be hired by a "primo airline" will travel to work in first or business class and the rest will do it in coach.
fly low and slow and reduce power in the downwind turns
Cheers

Doesn't SQ ask for a bank guarantee before being offered a job. But still half of you guys would take the SQ job.

well...the only ones to be blamed is the pilots.when will all grow a set of BALLS and stand up.

we should not allow the FAT BANGLA to bully us.why should we have to pay our own money first? when the useless mgt pilots go for the courses,all the cash and hotel acc is given b4 these idiots even step on the plane..

giving a con story in the papers today about defering a/c...new terminal won't be ready on time....BULL ****.

only god knows when we will OPEN OUR EYES .

You're right. Most of us will never grow a set of nuts. Look at the Middle East. Everyone there is making noise, but no collective action. Because everyone still needs a job....of cos the guys in India have steel nuts.
