Most of what you read is accurate although that doesn’t make it a horrible place to work by any means. I’ve dug ditches before and believe me this is better than that, lol.

What needs to happen to erase all of this negativity and poor moral is rather straight forward if the company would just decide to do it.

1. Get our pay back up to or close to industry high. I.E Endevor. It’s depressing knowing our captains make 20+$ less than people doing the same thing, which equates to $20,000+ more a year for them.

2. Fix reserve system so that people will actually want to upgrade and not have to resort to forced displacements that do nothing but **** pilots off and decrease our already limited time with our families and friends.

3. Flow flow flow. Enough said. We need to trust that the company will not violate like it did after this summer. We need an end date, even if it is years out, to stay fairly reliable so we can accurately plan for our future. This is a big deal for people.

If those three things happened we would once again be the top place to come. Right now the recruiting numbers look good because of the HVA and RTP programs so who knows if any of this will change.

Other than that, like I said a few weeks back, the company has treated me well and with respect, even through some sick calls. The CPO is management but that is the same everywhere, although again they have been nothing but respectful. I will say that I have had no issues, violations or bad reports from captains so that could change for someone that is performing badly.
