I hope I’m wrong.
Most of them had a completely different perspective of what we do. They fail to realize we don’t work as a normal airline and that baffles them.
Getting your pay screwed up as a new hire isn’t a warm welcome either, especially when you already don’t make that much. I’m sure someone came in and apologized but that mistake can be detrimental to some families.
People also talk especially in this age of technology. It’s a lot easier to compare QOL issues nowadays. This definitely isn’t an airline. It’s not a bad job but I wouldn’t come in expecting it to be like other shops. I’d like to think some things will change but my confidence is low. It’s really low after looking at some of the B&G posts.
