it is true, for at least till end of last year. just ask how many TURNAROUND flights they do each months, and get paid about rm40 for breakfast? or rm70 for dinner then go for the split duties which the allowance are lesser! ( and taking and not accounted2 calendar days) i have talked to some LS and they complained that they cant afford to take leave or report sick as rm2500 isnt enough to feed their families.
maybe things are improving with 738 coming with HND, ICN and PER layovers. Hopefully
-Massenger -obviously u were talking about widebody crew, yes they are still making 4k to 6k per month,
