I understand what everyone is saying with regard the company cutting costs to survive, and yes we will all have jobs, but they pay is what attracts some of us to this company, its not a bad paid airline. (untill now lol)
What im hacked off at is the fact that the pay cut is not company wide, cut EVERYONES wage, not just the crew. But lets get technical about it, they are being very very sly about this, our commission is not in our contract, its an extra to what are wage is, therefore they can get away with it.
To add insult to injury we were all "made" to attend a voluntary roadshow (which no one got paid for - if it was explained it was vol i wouldnt have gone) and we had sales forced down our neck, tought how to suck eggs and tell us that the company wants to make 8mil instead of 5mil in onboard sales, yet the people that sell it are getting shafted left right and centre at moment. A lot of experienced crews have took this as the straw that broke the camels back and are looking elsewhere, its a shame, Jet2 are about to loose a lot of good crew.... Its going to cost them more in the long run, A good 15 crew inc senior trainers have just left MAN to go to BA - dont blame them!
