We had a good one last summer. Hangar staff went to outstations who, as uasual were understaffed during the summer. This time, after much negotiation, those lucky ones who got to go away were on full expenses instead of the little sweetener that had been the norm for the last couple of years. Truns out that this year we blew the budget by July and a few lads were brought back to the fold. Thing is, aircrew and cabin staff ger full expenses as the norm. but when it comes to the crunch, it seems that us donkey greasers are too expensive!
