It was said tongue in cheek wingo. However I do maintain that taking home £2k is a decent salary. Paying for training included. Go to EZY and fork out over £24k of salary for the TR. That's got to come from somewhere. I have lost track of their schemes but the last one I saw was cash up front so that is 24k of taxed salary. More like 36k then.
I'm not saying we should be grateful to have a job at all, I agree there needs to be a good offer next, not the drivel that has been forthcoming so far. But i get exceptionally irritated reading comments from people in Flybe for 5 minutes getting militant about their package.
LSM, aspirations are one thing but if someone joined say two years ago, or later as a cadet, they knew what the pay scale was. Bar an RPI increase which sadly we are lacking right now, I don't see what they have to complain about.
