All,
Firstly I would like to openly apologise to Superboy once again. It wasn't meant as apersonal attack on him, and if it came across that way then I'm sorry.
I must have been tired, emotional, and a bit the worse for wear
Trouble is this is such an emotive issue sometimes things get the better of me. Which funnily enough, for those who know me, isn't like me at all.
Anyway enough of the backtracking and apologising.
RNBOI,
FBW is right and the Purser promotion is about £14200, I think.
Keeperboy,
I really respect your attitude as well. I seem to think that WW conditons will have to change to suit the Company. However it does still get my back up when they ask for our support for the strike when, to tell you the truth, they have never given two pennies for us.
WLITS,
Once again you are the voice of reason. Thank you for supporting my thoughts. I, along with FBW by the sounds of things, was one of the few that voted against the whole SF fleet thing. Not because I didn't want the LH but because I was hoping that as the Company needed SF fleet more than we did then the t&c's may have been better. But saying that I am enjoying the trips and my money has improved considerably.
Superboy,
Once again it wasn't personal. The person you need to contact is, firstly your union. Write a complaint letter to them. Then copy in the person who is in charge of the GVA hotel. This info can be found on the intranet under the crew hotel guide. Each hotel has a person who looks after it.
I'm sorry you were lied to by recruitment what sort of figures did they quote you? I have just looked at my allowances for November and I can say that the LH is making a considerable difference.
I do look forward to flying with you, especially as WLITS says you are great at your job. Hopefully we can let bygones be bygones.
As I said in my original post I do feel really sorry for the new recruits because the money is so poor. It will get better though I'm sure, so if you enjoy what you do stick it out.
YD
Who will think before he types anything else
