because 11K is a very low salary and although with the 2.40 flight pay it will be uplifted, but unlike other jobs air crew need to pay for food and meals when away and this is not cheap. You can't just pop down to Tescos for your supper like the rest of the population. So even with the flight pay I would be suprised if the take home is more than £1100 a month.
Oh please Betty girl.
Enough of the sob story
With respect to food, you know as well as I do that in many places you can eat very well, for a lot less than the meal allowance.
Also, best not to forget that when you are away
you are not having to pay for gas, electric, petrol, wear & tear on your soft furnishings etc. etc. etc. Where shall we stop?
