There is also the brain drain in management. Anyone with actual skill at managing will be scooped up by a higher paying airline. You get potato farms and dumb policies like keeping the hud down at all times for 30 years. It’s a personal decision but to ONLY apply at b6 is crazy.
Can’t disagree with any of this. Been here 7 years and think about leaving every other week. Shoulda left 2-3 years ago. Hindsight is always 20/20. I’m comfortable and drive to work, thus don’t really have the fortitude to deal with starting over. Now I feel pot committed here 😂 poor management (as you alluded to) has put this company in a tough position. Hope it works out. If I had to get on a plane to commute here, I would have been gone yesterday.
