To echo other comments, it’s hard to believe management is going backwards in a time where pilot hiring/retention is so important. Was told they were parking multiple planes due to lack of crews before the revised pay-scale so can’t imagine what this is going to do. Guess they want pilots with checkride failures and DUIs. Very sad to see what Vista has done to that place.
Wow!
Does anyone know how Management “sold” this to the pilot group or the reasons that they gave them for decreasing compensation during these unprecedented times for pilot hiring (and quitting)?!?! When they announced the move from MCC to Fort Lauderdale, I joked with several of my senior friends over there that “y’all just became a South Florida 135 operation overnight”, but we all laughed it off cause this couldn’t ever happen we thought.
This kind of reminds me of how things were at Netjets before the pilots there started playing hardball. I hope that you guys land well wherever you all end up. Good luck and hang tough!
