Jobs Market isChanging

[CloverKnollFarms]

We raised our wages between 60%-100% last week. This week we halted all hiring indefinitely.

We hired 1000+ new employees this year, and had new classes scheduled, we canceled them all.

Sheet is going to get grim.

You airline employees are the reason I have gotten to absolutely detest getting on a plane. For 20 years I have logged well over 100,000 miles a year and have gotten to just hate it. To the point that I will rent a car and drive to a job up to 8 or 9 hours away. I avoid work in California like the plague. I've never in all those years seen so much unneccessary equipment downtime forced on us in the name of "safety". Most of it is because someone is pissed or having a bad day or something has happened with a union vote ot comapny decision that they didn't like. Some airports have some of the slackest, laziest baggage handling and ground crew personnel possible. All of this has come about in the last 5 years. Started well before Covid. It got so bad my partner convinced me to try getting a plane and flying ourselves to short hop jobs but that was a bad idea. My solution is to retire as soon as I can and let someone else have that headache.

Unnecessary equipment downtime?
If ANYTHING on the aircraft is not operational… even a light bulb, the FAA (your government) demands it be addressed before departure. This applies to basically every flight. Sometimes we can get it rectified quickly, other times it’s not so quick. It really has nothing to do with my own personal attitude. If I delay a flight for anything but a legitimate reason, I get to speak to management, because they track every delay, even if it’s a 10 second delay.

BOA predicts job losses reaching $175,000 per month in 2023.

I hope people saved those stimulus checks! Sadly, they didn’t, they send them to fuel inflation, and their impending job loss as a result.

I seem to remember that when aircraft mechanics were negotiating a new contract, there were suddenly an increase of mechanical issues that cause flights to be delayed or cancelled. The unions try to squeeze the airlines for everything they can get. The companies squeeze the customers for every dollar they can get (cramped seating, paying for carry on bags, seat selection, etc.). The only loser is the flying public.

Airline mechanic jobs are the bottom of the barrel. If I went back to aviation, it would never be to an airline.

Defense or manufacturer job only

Is that why inflation is worldwide? I didn’t know that all other countries got stimulus checks.
