Management listens on safety, nothing else

The roster is published on the 25th and changes several times before the month starts. Days off get rostered and then removed at short notice, which makes anything outside work impossible to plan. [demo]

Pros

Pay arrives on time, every month.

Cons

Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

NarrowbodyDirect hire0-1 yrsDoes not recommend

Fatigue reports get acknowledged and then closed with no change. Safety reports are handled properly, so it is clearly a crewing problem rather than a culture problem, but that does not help when you are on your fourth…

Pros

Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.

Cons

Standby patterns are punishing.
