FYI Many of my previous airlines, the flight duty pay was very similar to that of our £2.40 per hour here at BA. I still managed to be able to socialise with others, it didn't really pose much of an issue! Also i am pretty sure the flight crew always seem to know the best and cheapest places for a beer!!!!!
Not the ones on Eurofleet, they are used to the finer things in life! In the old days the Flight Engineer could be relied on but now, if you can find a cheap beer in Oslo, I'll pay for it!
Of course it wouldn't be 24 hrs in CDG, it'd be a 12 ish hour slip typically (mixed fleet are unlikely to be doing any one out - one back trips like Eurofleet). So if it's say 24 hours away from base, thats 24*£2.40=£57.60. From that you'll need to buy dinner and a bit of breakfast but I still reckon you'd have £20+ left over for a glass of vin rouge. Quite workable I think, as long as you don't rely on room service!
As for Charlie Pop, that assumes that they wouldn't need much to live on and that the tax man might not have an interest! I can't imagine that the likes of Paris Hilton would be popping over to MF for a laugh, most of these guys are going to be working their rear ends off because they need to earn a living not just to go drinking in dodgy bars. That £20 that you want them to be buying 'vin rouge' with will be needed to pay the bills.
that'll save some money in europe, out of hours for drinking in a lot of places.
