Wages and inflation?

I think some people here have forgotten about the high level of inflation coupled with real-term pay cuts these guys have been experiencing. What might have been a salary that was tight a few years ago (or even months ago) could suddenly become a real struggle, particularly if cadets have a fixed interest loan which doesn't take into account the current low interest rate.

I personally have been finding even the fuel price rise affect my expendable income, let alone anything else.

I don't work for Flybe, but I for one sincerely hope that you guys get at least a pay rise rather than a pay cut!
