It takes an extraordinary level of delusion to think that Ts&Cs will ever get back towards the pre-covid norms. I predict that within three years we'll see A320/737 captains in the UK being paid in the region of £35-40k with zero benefits on temporary or part year seasonal contracts. FOs will be on a mix of pay to fly, fly for free and zero hours/ minimum wage contracts.
Airline management will continue to find new ways to reach that elusive bottom of the barrel. The mere fact that VNA are offering to pay trainers anything at all, rather than demanding that they pay for the privilege of working for them shows that there's still a way to go before the bottom is reached.
