Cabin crew get more pay than Tech crew

[Freemen]

It is inconceivable how management and the various Associations (unions) negotiate Collective Agreements that can cause such disparity between front line employees. For example from the flight operations/ cabin crew division the respective collective agreements allow cabin crew with duty period exceeding 14 hrs to be paid a productivity allowance of 2.5 the normal basic rate; in addition this is on a "flight schedule hour" computation. Whereas the pilots are paid basic rate productivity on an actual flight time scale or flight schedule hour whichever is lesser.
To this end a supervisory cabin crew can earn more than a technical crew. Basically a "trolley Dolly" is considered more valuable than a responsibility entrusted professional.
Maybe it's better to be Tea Crew rather than Tech crew!!

Welcome to the Club! It's very hard to comprehend why a "Trolley Dolly" earns more than a Tech Crew! My spouse is one but I still have the edge on the compensation.
It only shows how good there Unions (Cabin Crew) fair during the Collective Bargaining Agreements process.The key here is in the Associations efforts and practical thinking for the betterment of there Pilot members.
Being truly professionals and good gentlemen that we all are,has been the weakness for all the Pilot Unions.
Being an Ex-Philippine Airlines Pilot has opened my eyes to these atrocities being commited by Management to the roster of our Union, The Airline Pilots Association of the Philippines (ALPAP).
Just have Faith! Don't let these things put you down. I don't! Even what the foul mouthed China man owner of Philippine Airlines calls us the "Glorified Drivers".
