Thai cabin crew are on a base wage of $6000AUD a year.
Correct Gnad, and to add insult to injury they have to pay $1500 (which is a ****e load of money to them) as a downpayment before commencing their training. This is non refundable if they decide to leave which many want to due to the abuse of conditions. Unfortunately the turds in management work these people 10 days straight, two off and then another 11 to 12 days. Overnight in the Stamford at Syd then requires them to SHARE rooms. There may be 8 rock up at the hotel but Jet* have only booked 4 or 5 rooms. Penny pinching bas*ards. This is only the tip of the iceburg of what is actually going on. No doubt going to have more probs soon as I hear that 3 more of the EK boys that went over are resigning next month. That's 4 in 5 months. Must be a top outfit to work for. !!!
