Morale can go up and down for a number of reasons. So you look at the constants, and usually what is left generally becomes the cause of your lower morale.
As pay and benefits have remained fairly constant, then some other issues seem to be to blame.
Look back a few years, and the sentiment was very different. Since then, your competitors have rewarded their pilots, while you guys are left hanging.
I've read most of the threads, so would you see it as a change in leadership style (?), change to policies, or new management personnel.
The post on a different thread, where the higher management allegedly ignored the pilots, while engaging with other employees at BOS - by any standard, not good leadership
Thanks 'POG', that sheds some light. So does that junior guy end up with 10 days off per month (potentially) - I saw that reserves have a minimum of 12 days off, but I didn't see anything about line holders
I dont believe line holders have minimum days off except the FAR requirements. I could be wrong about that. I have seen my initial schedule come in with 21 days at work, with 4-5 trips including 23-30 hour layovers that I really didn't get paid for. Those are days off right?
30 hours at the Detroit Airport Hotel! Includes a beautifull view of the airport parking lot!
Everything, and I mean every little thing about this place sucks relative to our peers. From hotels, to layovers to schedules, to movement, to pay. Every aspect.
That is all you need to know.
