Thing is, when you do the training and look at industry average salaries it is well worth it.
Flybe has often led on to other companies such as Easy and the charter companies who pay reasonably. Due to this Flybe management have always kept the wages low.
However due to no industry movement for three years and the take over of BA Connect there are many people here now who look to a future with a growing company or have no option but to stay!
Management still know that as soon as the Easy door opens again the exodus will start again, so why increase the salary.
The arguemet is if you incease it then more will stay.
Management don't want this because they'd rather have new starters on the lowers salary levels.

Therefore in my opinion we are all banging our heads against a brick wall. It's great that we keep trying and I may be surprised, especially if we get to industrial action, but don't expect a 10% rise or similar.
