Page 44. A "Key element" of strategy
"the group will continue to focus on cost reductions across all aspects of the Flybe business with the aim of delivering the lowest unit cost base amongst European regional airlines"
Ok... am I the only person out there who finds this paragraph actually quite worrying. As if it's not enough that the average salary in the company (excluding directors and their 28% payrise) has fallen by a couple of percent, this makes it appear that this is one of their key points. They don't want to pay us above the inflation rate, in order so it will cost them less.
I understand that key talks are going on today - I hope that the result is a fair one to all pilots out there - I've had enough of being treated in the way that the company have done. It's a wonder that half the people turn up to work with the levels of morale in the crewrooms.
Jims £1000000 interest free loan just totally takes the p155 out us all. It's a shame that the directors are just looking after themselves in this issue... no regard for us who have been making the money for the company.
And this flight efficiency. I will bloody well only do it when the company give me a fair payrise. Even if it means getting in 30 minutes early on each sector. I'm not funding any more of Jims little ventures willingly.
Rant over.
