Would you please stop saying this "with the new routes we'll earn more money" rubbish. I've been doing only long haaul for the last few months and I haven't earned more at all. If anything I have spent more downroute (only to eat) so I'm even poorer than before.
Astonishing to think that most at LGW don't think that the strike issues applied to us (err, hello?? What about the pension, the EG300??).
Oh and the usual "if you're not happy go and work elsewhere" is such a cheap argument. We are not happy. I am not happy with £1000 a month . So, yes, I will go and work elsewhere soon enough. And lots of us who joined in 2006 will (many have already left). What will happen next? Others will join, and lots of them will leave. Again and again until we get paid better at LGW.
