teamilk: thats nothing new re salaries. the people behind this venture seem to think that everyone will work for the love of it!
Lets take a moment and look at the history of this shambles shall we?
They've been trying to get off the ground now for so long we've all lost interest and probably don't believe a word they say. they still have no licence (maybe no money either judging by this fact) and nothing more than a cheap rented office in some dodgy part of Birmingham.
I know of someone who used to work there and found it complete chaos. none of the owners/managers have any airline experience and so have hired experienced industry bods in to provide this on a hourly rate. they have no expereinced core staff and apparently have even been politely declined by certain companies (eg. training) who don't want to be associated with them. apparently, my source tells me everything is outsourced, or bought on the cheap (even from the local markets!).
Last year they made job cuts in the pre-launch management team. not good for an airline that hasn't even made its first flight!
I think we can sum this whole thing up now,,,,
BE VERY CAUTIOUS before giving up a good job to be made promises by these guys!
