Plodding Along -
I feel there will be much resentment when they discover the true disparity with their collegues working from the same base.
Why would you feel that?
I am 'New' contract and have been for many years. I earn much less than my colleagues working alongside me, let alone on a different fleet, on the old contract. I dont resent them.
I too would welcome new recruits and not just in the cabin crew area!
