Not only did they mismanage, they gave themselves bonuses as well! They destroyed pilot morale even further, tried to cover it up with glossy magazines and "free hot-dog days" and had the gall to blame the pilots for the mess they created. They promised "just give us a year" to turn things around, and they drove it in the ground. Pilots refused to take concessions to reward misManagment.

Two more stories about 30 year captains, yay! Pretty soon they will be doing stories about 15 year FO's.

The few new hires we are getting are not going to be around very long. There are a few 'older' people in class that were either previous airline or come from military background that won't be here more than a year, if that. Our current new hires are getting extra sims, some double the amount, it's been a struggle.
The bonus the company is offering is a joke and I don't think anyone has taken it at this point. The Co. wants to raise 1st yr pay to attract candidates, but in my opinion won't make much of a difference, and I agree with our MEC, raise pay for everyone on the seniority list and we might go for it.
Honestly, I think mgmt. knows they will have to pay up eventually, they are just dragging it out as long as possible.

oh, and today I counted 5 RJ2s at A-tech with titles removed, presumably awaiting new homes. Ready for the Respect You Deserve?
