The pilots are now proposed to work at least 200h more per month to get the same amount of money, isn't it nice?

Would you vote YES to such a proposal?

Edit: 200h per year of course :)

you guys so proud to work for BruAir. Think at what could happen if one day, for some reason, you want to leave. A negative reference, just because you didn't want to work in your days off? (= not flexible) It's time to stop all this now, before it all goes too far. Those tactics to scare people fro...

of course! 30 minutes is possible. It's just unacceptable to implement new rules without speaking about it before. I hope the guys who took such decisions (yeah, right, nice management strategy) will be laid off! This will finally cost a lot of money to the company, and it could have been settled 3 ...

hum, that's 75h flight time actually... Briefing 1h before the 1st flight, flight preparation between flights, sign out 30 minutes after the last flight. As a pilot, I'd say 30 minutes turn around is not impossible in practice, but as soon as you leave with a delay (technical, slot, etc...) you'll n...

Most of the Avro pilots (half the company) will refuse this plan...

30 minutes... 40 minutes... Not a big deal indeed, except if you have to catch a delay, then you'll be late the whole day... And not very fair from the Management to advise the crew about the new turn-around time just two weeks before it starts with the usual sentence "it's too late to discuss ...
