There are a ton of things that can (and hopefully will) get better around here. You don't need to make it sound worse than it is for some personal grumpy crusade. What do you get out of bad mouthing the company? Management isn't going to read your posts and suddenly go "Hey! That Ecam is one smart cookie! We should immediately buy 200 aircraft and hire 1,000 more pilots."

The reality is that, with few exceptions for commuters, working here is worlds better than working at any regional and in most cases any other ULCC and for a few of us even the legacies/big cargo. Can we make it better? YES! Hopefully MUCH better, but QOL here can't be beaten. The interview team and everyone I spoke to before coming here all said this is not a commuter friendly job.
