Wingo Wango, I completely agree, I signed up for Flybe with the understanding that I would never earn the same as BA, EZY etc and I do not expect a 30% pay rise to bring me inline with them, HOWEVER, I did sign up to an airline that was rapidly growing from a smalltime player into a very large european operator. I don't think it's wrong that we should expect that our pay and conditions should improve inline with that.
When directors are picking up this level of pay rise I think it's an insult to be told that they can't even match inflation. Until I see something that includes inflation + something to represent the scale of our expansion then it's a no from me. Then we'll cross the small matter of scheduling...!
