I'm a WW CSD, just got back from a trip today and flew with a temp who I had flown with last year, he is now on £2.40 an hour and his roster is full of 24hr days, he loves flying with BA but has seen a significant drop in his salary since he was called back. He is keen to stay with us but lives 2 1/2hrs away, he has had his house valued but even if he sells it, he would not be able to afford something similar in the South (he currently lives in a one bedroomed starter home) and with his current salary would find it difficult to get a mortgage for the difference. At 37 he feels that it's not worth moving his life to the South for very little reward. This I feel is such a shame as his enthusiasm, work ethic and general attitude puts some of our current crew on the better paid contracts to shame!
