brighton rocks, on behalf of the entire bmi pilot force, let me apologise for having the temerity to allow our petty concern for our livelihoods to interfere with your hobby. Perhaps if we all had alternative sources of income, we could all be in the fortunate position to say "i work as crew part time because i enjoy it." We might even find ourselves with enough time to look for reasons to resent those around us! Of course, having no scheduling agreement, spare time is something of a rarity at regional.
Personally I have no real issue salary wise. Admittedly, more would be very nice, but 2.4% still gives me a nice round sum when considered over an entire year. However, I do appreciate that others within the Group have to survive on considerably less than my salary; I would have no complaints if whatever scheduling agreement is made for the pilots should be the basis for a similar agreement for cabin crew.
