Your right, I do have the right to my opinion, which I have shared on this forum and given reasons for. I never said there weren't worse places. Why are you bent over about me sharing it?

Something original? It has to be original for a place to suck??
Let's see... Besides the abysmal pay rates, the useless union who promised, "We won't sign in industry low rates in the 737" and then promptly did just that, the most incompetent scheduling I have ever seen, there was the simple fact that they purposefully hired 50 pilot for the sole purpose to have them on property to fly the 747-400 for 3-10 months while they finished out their 747-200 contracts. The plan from the beginning was the hire these pilots to furlough them within a year.

How do I know?

The CEO came into our class and told us!!

Thanks!

So yes, they can eat it.

As I have typed previously, in three months on the line approximately 1/4 of my layovers ended with no hotel simply because scheduling got the time zone or date wrong. I have shown up to airports with no transportation scheduled and no way to call HQ short of an international collect call. Yes, yes, as Birdstrikes will tell you, this was four years ago and there's no more adhoc. Fine. But it's still the same management team that orchestrated all that.

It will only get worse. And of 15 guys I know that had recall rights, only one took it.
