Just to show you all the other side of the coin..
My friend who has joined MF from the holdpool is just about to finish their first full month of flying inc the longhaul. We sat down and worked out last night her take home after tax and pension will be £1222.
They come from a sales background and was absolutely delighted by it. She would have had to to do at least one days overtime to hit that in her previous job and she felt she hasn't worked anywhere near as hard. (I did do her bidding for her though
) Her housemate who is easyjet crew told me she is envious of her because although she can earn more she gets better perks and to travel and to do longhaul.
Word on the line is that most of the dissatisfaction on MF is coming from the ex temps??
