Flexjet QOL getting flushed down the toilet.

[ArtVandalay]

Now the talk of not giving hotels in domiciles? It is now subjective whether you get a hotel room or not? The downturn in the economy is now giving Flex mgmt the excuse they need to do what they've always wanted to do. Lets take a look at what our wonderful leader has done for us so far..

A layoff, a 2 day work reduction across the board that equates to about a 18% pay cut , only 3 days off after long recurrent now, no crew meals on standby, and now hotels in domiciles is subjective. Oh, and thanks for the 4% raise that puts us in line with "industry standards" and slaps the face of every person you just laid off. What's next?

You want a union don't you?

They will take away hotel rooms for a bit in domicile. Then a few weeks later they will happily announce that hotel rooms are back, actually one room for 3 crew members. Some idiot will then come on here and post that we got our rooms back.

Same old greedy airline exec / Fred Reid playbook. Doesn't surprise you, does it?

Art,

How does a pay raise hurt people who are furloughed? I am not understanding.

I think he means that instead of a raise they could've kept theose pilots on property.

By using the money to bring some guys back....

I'm usually one not to complain about a raise; however, in our current situation, it seems moronic to give raises.

Yeah, but you also want that gig to last, don't you??

If you're going to over-night at your domicile, why not just go home and save the company a few bucks???

I guess you have no problem with those people that over-night at their domicile, request and check into a hotel room (just for the points) and then drive home... the company just spent $140 so someone can get a few points and not even use the freeking room.

I live 8 minutes from the airport so I stay at home when we layover in my domicile. But there are many guys that live a looong way from their DECLARED gateway city. These are the people that would be negatively affected if required to stay at home during a layover in their gateway. They don't want the room for the points.....

 

[CALRepublic]

Correct, some people live a loong way from way from home, and they'd be affected..... But many don't, I think it's a good time to try to help the company a bit.... every dollar counts...

if you're complaining about not having a hotel room at your own domicile, then life it's not that bad... talk to someone who commutes on the airlines to work, you'll see what I mean
