Unhappy Jet2

Jet2.Con - I'm relieved to hear that I am not alone at being fed up with the lack of flying hours. This summer, so far, seems to be much quieter than previous. I am at LBA and flew 550 for the past 12 months.
From October to May i flew 180 hours. I like time off but i don't fancy another 'winter' as quiet as that. Moneywise, some months the duty pay was below £100 and my sector pay for April was less than £10.
I agree with Ardacre's comments re rostering. It seems to be a repetitive pattern as to destination and captain. I know that training seems to be forever ongoing - maybe it will get even quieter when all the new guys are online!
I don't think it helps to be told to clear off if you don't like it. We may be in Yorkshire but the era of the mill owner mentality should be long gone.
Don't yet know if i'll stay or go, but the thought of another winter is very unappealing.
