Have to agree flight pay is very poor. £1.24 an hour and I`m guessing that is paid from report time to clear time? I left bmi ten years ago and the hour rate there was £1.07 although I believe this has been increased.
Basic isn`t too bad, but does it increase yearly?
STN area isn`t cheap (well Harlow might be, but thats erm Harlow

)
Probably find quick turnover of crews, and whilst at the beginning it will look attractive as the months roll by less so. It seems staff travel is a selling point, being an excellent feature, however unless you have the £££ or $$$ then it ain`t worth much coz you can`t afford to use it..Oh and after a while staff travel, you kinda find it more trouble than its worth...
