Don't forget we at bmi regional have to buy our own food when we're operating the flight too. There are no crew meals provided and it's room-only accommodation when we get to the hotel.
Are biggest issue is that we have no scheduling agreement. We can report for our rostered 4 sector duty and end up on a three day nightstop. Our rosters are changed at the last minute leaving us unable to make any personal committments around the published roster. Similar operators like Bacon and Flybe have agreements in place which allow pilots to refuse last minute changes and give compensation if they choose to accept.
If we could make progress on the above we'd be a more contented bunch - and I haven't even talked about the payrise.
