Most Flybe F/O's

FYI Most fully qualified Flybe F/O's earn £25k-£32k - about as much as a HGV or bus driver and considerably less than a train driver (£45-£50k starting salary) - oh and less than most of the refuellers who fuel the planes we fly.

If the public knew this, maybe they'd agree we're underpaid considering the level of training and skill required to do the job, not to mention the responsibility and unsocial hours and weekend working required.

Perhaps now people can see why most of us are extrmely annoyed with the 0.3% pay rise over the past 2 years we have been offered...

A 5yr F/O with Flybe would be making around £35k - the pay scales are on the Flybe website for all to see.
