Cabin Crew Allowances...
I have a question for Cabin Crew please.
I was on a flight recently with one of the UK flag carriers. When they arrived at their destination (hotel) the flight allowances they all received (cabin & flight deck) had been changed and was significantly less than they were expecting. Apparently there has been some annual review of the allowances but not one person knew the changes had been implemented not even the Captain.
Does Allowances form part of the employment contract and should one not be informed if they are being changed or is this not the case ? By all accounts it wasn't even in the notes/notice boards (a book or something they checked before departure) etc etc at the base prior to departure, .... just thiner envelopes on arrival.
Would welcome some views on this as I thought it was a bit low of the company to not even let the staff know that would be happening.
Regards
