13,
I am actually CC, believe it or not. I know everyone has lives to live and not everyone is in it for the money. I do, however have friends on EF who purely bid to get as many meal allowances as possible to earn as much money as possible. Nothing wrong with that as such, but they have uttered a wish to feel able to go to other destinations which may not have as "high" value as what they're bidding for now.
To keep it clear, I'm not trying to tell you or anyone what to choose and accept. All I'm doing is putting it in a different light, to allow for individuals to think for themselves instead of listening to Galley FM and/or unions alone. I wouldn't dream of telling yourself or anyone in this position what to do, as that would be ridiculous.
