what has brexit got to do with it? The guy I know is a brit, that is coming to stn from pmi base, getting paid £40 an hour.
That is what history is in ryr. You change base, boom, paycut. A base capt resigns, boom next one gets a few k less. Ask the BC in pik…!
Everytime someone leaves, the replacement gets paid less.
How do you think they got the fo salary in year 2000 from 75k down to 20k by 2016. A captain’s basic is now 16k less than an Fo 21 years ago…
Pay came up in the great pilot exodus, sorry, holiday leave disaster (if it was leave, why did they increase pay to stop people leaving….?!) with bonds and direct employment, we all said at the time just wait til the tide changes it will all revert back to type. Hey presto, pay for ratings again, and be a contractor.
Which is why I said in a post earlier, if you want to spend 30 years in ryr, you better accept that you will retire on less money that you started the company with. The history is in front of your faces, you don’t even have to go back to year 2000, look at the old brookfield contracts, then storm (less money) then blueskies (less money) now storm again and guess what……when all these fo’s awaiting upgrade now get sent to buzz…guess what their contracts will be…less!
This is all fact, would love to see the child in ryr recruiting come on here and deny it. They wont be able to, as most are 22 year olds that were not born when this rot started, and they are so blinded by the jazzy office with the slide and too young and weak to ever question the mentality of the place.
And to those that think its just an extension of flight school, to move on…well you are so short sighted as ryr is so big it sets wages now. So unfortunately this cancer will follow you.
Even if you are not in ryr, you should see it as your duty to stop this madness. Because it will and has effected every corner of aviation already.
