You are on the wrong frequency. I'm not management.

I heard a 25 year old can expect:

Basic €55,600.
Shift allowance €15,200.
6% Bank holiday allowance €7,200.
And the part I have a problem with is an incredible 30.5% pension contribution of €17,000. Crazy!

A starter gets €17,000 paid into a pension plan and doesn't have to save a single cent themselves.

A package worth €90,000 and that's for someone starting off. Some of you get up to €160,000. The average industrial wage here is €40,000.

How can any airliner or PAX subsidise such off the wall salaries. Does it not worry you that PAX traffic here has fallen 15% and it hasn't bottomed out yet .

You held the country to ransom and you don't value what you have and the public demand better.

Look at what you have not what you don't have. Look around you. Look at how everyone else in the country is coping. The celtic Tiger is dead so get off your high towers come on down to ground level so you can realise how sickening your whinging looks to us public.
