If working as Crew is so bad but you don't want to leave, then you could always try working on the ground. VS are always looking for Psa's and starting pay is around £13K a year for a basic Psa but there are other jobs that pay more (and some that pay less), so a bit more than cabin crew (although the way VS cabin crew look/treat and speak to the ground staff sometimes you would think otherwise).
Although you don't get any allowances, have to buy your own food whilst at work, are not allowed to sleep whilst working an 18 hour day, cannot live in the cheaper parts of the country and commute, don't get extra payments if you are working staff down (as is normal every day) and actually have more work to do taking up the slack, have a harder job to do generally (don't believe me - ask anyone who has done both crew and ground staff and they will always say working on the ground is much harder) and get absolutley no recognition at all from anyone, no trips to Necker on offer for the ground staff - not even the ones who had to deal with the aftermath of the G-VSKY accident (yes once crew have got them off the a/c and go off for counselling, who deals with the pax then for the hours and days afterwards - oh yes that be the ground staff)
Oh and the ground staff have no union at all, so can't even negotiate a pay rise, they just get what is offered and that is it.
So stop your moaning and whinging, there are other options out there for you. Ever though of working overtime in the Clubhouse to increase your earnings on your 12+ days off each month ?.
