I started flying for Jet2 3 months ago. I don't know or really care what anyone else earns, all i know is that my monthly take home is almost half of what i earned per year as an FI. I would sudgest anyone that spends too much time worrying about this subject hasn't spent much time employed outside aviation or worked as an FI etc
3 weeks ago i phoned crewing at 3.58 am as my wife had gone into premature labour. 5 minutes later they phoned me back having scrubbed all my roster for nearly 2 weeks!! Put a price on THAT after working for them for such a short time.
Sorry to rant and if this sounds like a rosed tinted advert for Jet2 then again i'm not here to advertise on their behalf, but sometimes especially when your nearest and dearest are laying on the slab their are more important things in life than your bank balance.

ps don't foward this to HSBC Hythe please
