Well I don't have a source for the salaries but my french chiropractor's sister works for Air France and their hours are very restrictive compared to ours and her pay is also more than mine (for a lot less less hours).

Just ask any pilot and he will confirm that Iberia pilots earn more than them and it is a well known fact that it is the same for cabin crew.

Just take a look at how much Spanish air traffic controllers earn ( it was recently in the papers) and you will see, just how large the wages are of ex state owned companies in Spain.

Please just remember I did not strike and I don't agree with how our union handled this and I do think further savings could have been negotiated for crew. Having said, that I feel the professionalism and dedication will be lost in time on new Mixed fleet because high calibre candidates wont want to work for these low wages or stay long and also be able to live in the London area, unless living at home with Mum and Dad.
