There is no doubt that Ts and Cs are being depressed across the industry in Europe and not just in the flight deck. Those who are earning £100k+ are getting fewer and fewer in real terms. Personally I think those earning those numbers could be a bit more grateful?
I saw an ad looking to recruit FOs for £27k and captains for working £18k more. Absolutely pathetic numbers.
Cabin crew wages are absolutely disgraceful in almost every airline. In engineering, we’re doing ok, but now we’re seeing guys popping up from Eastern Europe and Asia who are depressing the rate somewhat.
