So,
tewkesbury - there was a golden age was there, when people worked for higher reasons than mere personal gain? I would disagree with you on that point...
Just to set the record straight, I was surprised to hear that gingers earn less than some Cabin Crew, and in a just world, then I'd be quite happy for that situation to be reversed. I wish to return safely home each night, and an integral part of that process involves skilled engineers behaving responsibly and using their skills. However, the issue here is not really about the relative worth (and yes, Sir Freddie was right - but would the Crew be any good?) of CC to engineers, but actually about the ability of engineers to negotiate a better price for their skills in the existing market. In that struggle, I wish them luck.
It is also worth pointing out that not
all crew are paid as much as others. For example, I'm paid, in charter, the current perceivedd market price for my skills and experience- others are paid less: The comparison made at the start of this thread may not hold true for all airlines in the UK - just a thought
Have a nice day
