Transwest Hiring several positions!

Post by ballstothewall69 »

I've heard that Transwest is hiring. Several positions for this summer! It's a top of the line Company, with excellent aircraft. You can't go wrong.

What exactly does this mean anyway? If I'm going to move jobs I would like decent pay and live in a nice town.

Whaddya think it means BW?

Of course we all would like good money and lifestyle, but in the days ahead more and more of us are going to be satisfied with making crappy money in a shithole, because at least it's a job. If you succeed in avoiding such a scenario, so much the better...

Question: Are employees at Transwest really called Transwest-ites?

Here's a question. What about the guys who have been working the ramp for the past months/years? With things being the way they are are they going to be passed up for upgrades because TW can get more qualified applicants with PPC's and time on type and for pretty cheap? Are they this type of company or would they still honor their commitments to guys who have been slugging it out in the trenches?

I wonder what it will take for you all to realize that your boss isn't in business to give you a living. That is strickly a by product of what he needs. If he can get better qualifications and save money at the same time, then thats what he will do. Your employment is in his eyes a necessary evil. Every time an aircraft leaves the hanger it's a risk to his investments and he will do whatever he/she can to mitigate that risk. Loyalty really means little to nothing and as sad as that my sound that is sound business practise and unfortunatly we are/were just tools to use at his/her discretion. I would imagine a ramp position without a ppc will be just that for some time now. They really care little for what was promised. That was then this is now.

Geez, Muskeg, you must be a treat to work for...
Treat your employees well, and they will (generally) do you well in return - instead of doing the bare minimum of their job description, they'll do all of the little extras that need doing, and that keep your pax coming back. Treat them like you don't care, and they won't either - much to the detriment of your investments and business.
