More stories? How about the CEO showing up in your ground school and telling you that by the end of the year you'll either be furloughed or upgraded, but probably furloughed. There was a lot of drunk ground school students that night.
Got more if you'd like.
Not calling myself an expert on the matter, but not spreading any false rumors either. I have never seen such unreal mishandling of day to day operations. I've actually had to remind them where in the world I was during a trip when I sat somewhere for 9 days without any clue what they were doing with me.
Good luck.
You are lying my friend, stop spreading false rumors. I've been here over 4 years. Company mishaps with hotels and flights happen once in a blue moon, not 10 times in 3 months, and scheduling will fix it when you call them or email. You got company credit card, so stop crying.
SA had turned to worse over the past two years, but it's our fault too. With a weak pilot group, where every one is for himself, we voted in two contracts that crippled us. Now we have to pay.
