It is becoming very bad.
I am sorry to hear about the way you got treated, both of you.
Most owners are in it for the money only, and very few have any idea on how to run an efficient aviation department.
I have given quit a bit of advise over the last 5 years or so, and they 1 constant in it was always never ever get into commercial aviation, unless you are rich or have a 20+ military background.
If you wanna fly so bad, get a real job and join a flying club
