Think some people need to understand you can’t do 100hrs every month of the year...

Of course I’m not advocating the employment practices there, but if you were/are a contractor, it’s not rocket science - and ending up with 500-1000euro net pay in any month, is no ones else’s fault but your own.
That's exactly what you're doing. How's it my fault if I earn 1000€ a month?? Stockholm Syndrom I see. How can you accept that you earn significantly less in winter? How can you have a stable lifestyle? If you don't get a basic salary you're screwed! Also if you get 20-30k basic and you think it's fine you're a fool. Your basic salary should cover most of your salary whereas flight sector pay should get you the bonus.
Btw it was not my fault since this airline canceled all flights to let line training guys fly.
Your attitude is, forgive my harshness, disgusting.
