As a hostie who is lucky if she clears £1,200 pm LET ALONE £1,800, may I just say that I agree with pilotwolf. We will never get paid the sort of wages that we think we deserve in terms of hours, fatigue or even hard graft - I'm sure the aviation industry is not exclusive to that fact.
It's a shame that one shallow hostie's comments about being unable to survive on a bl**dy good monthly wage has sparked such a heated and offensive debate. No, it's not right that as a highly skilled engineer with years of training you are being paid less than the cabin crew, but is that really a call to belittle us and negate the job description that we fill?
I'm sure that said hostie's comments have infuriated you and highlighted an issue that you feel should be addressed, but shouldn't these pay issues be taken up with your employers?
And GIANNI, what a professional response. Aren't they the same tanks we use to make YOUR tea?
