So what makes you think that after your 6 month "trial" period with the airline that they arn't going to just ship the next lot of new guys in to take your place? If you work hard in those 6 months?! Nope, this is the reality of the new Flexicrew arrangement. Please be under no illusions about the state of this business at the moment, there are no permanent jobs for the low houred guys and won't be for a few years.

On the finances side, so you get £1000 a month for the 6 months of your contract, then the loan repayments kick in after that. Except now you've just lost your job. So you can't make any loan repayments. Or they find you a job at another airline, great you think, except you're on a similar wage there and now have to make repayments from that wage. Repayments of over 1000 pounds a month. So now what do you live on?
