But 787’s!!!

 

Lol, got through about 5min of reading and said "lines up with what I've heard."

 

Epic rant. He’s definitely a pilot.

 

Anyone have a TLDR?

 

​​​​​​It explains every example and variation on a theme of how the company screws around with you

 

Stay away from QR. Broken promises, unilateral mandatory pay cuts, no pay for deadheads, coach class ocean crossing deadheads (standby for first), culture of fear (flight attendant and company narcs), weekly policy changes and conflicting manuals. No sleep, different set of logbooks for pay, schedule, and rest. Rest rules routinely broken, mandatory extensions, expense reports denied, health insurance plans swapped from Allianz to Middle East/Indian inferior plan. Housing poor, arbitrary rule where pilots of same nationality can’t fly together making rotations to homeland hard to bid. Crew meals often round-tripped catered Briyani du jour. Airport hotel overseas layovers, rule you must be within an hour of hotel for reroutes (rule for no alcohol on layovers for reroute protections) Overall a bait-and-switch for most. BEWARE! And look, shiny wide bodies.

 

LOL Why on earth would anyone go to any of those ME airlines in these times is beyond me anyway.

Oh yeah. 787s.

 

These days doesn't make much sense, i will say during the 2014 timeframe in the regionals there were a lot of guys making up reasons they had to go

 

Lots of Europeans, South Africans, and Australians can’t find an aircraft lav to **** in much less fly the thing for money these days.
