Do captains make less money in flying hours than cabin crew?. Impossible
Its not a valid comparison as we get payed in a completely different fashion. Cabin Crew have always had about 50% of their wages paid with a hourly portion and 50% basic wage. Flight deck have just had the hourly portion introduced, historically most of our pay has been a basic wage. So you really can't compare the two.
However the new hourly pay is a fiddle to get around giving us a proper pay rise that has an erp, profit share and pensionable aspect to it. It is just another cynical effort by our management and the bean counters to pretend they are giving us something significant, when they are plainly not.
