Wonder if it works in reverse?
Can the engineers now take the company to court because they had to go through a 4 year apprenticeship on cr@p pay, not earning as much as the flight attendants?
DESRCRIMIATION I SAY! The pilots can take the company to court for putting them through medicals and simulators and not putting the flight attendants under the same scrutiny?
DESCRIMINATION I SAY!
If they want the same pay and conditions, then it stands to reason that they must have the same prerequisites on joining. Minimum 2000hrs, and ATPL subjects passed as an absolute minimum. A 3 day course on grooming and deportment, and opening and closing a door doesnt cut it.
How does sexual descrimination cover the male flight attendants?
Its simple really, do your engineering apprenticeship, and get paid like an engineer. Do your ATPL, and get the minimum flying, and get paid like a pilot. Or, do your intensive 2 week initial entry course, and get paid like a flight attendant. Simple....
