GofE,
It's just not fair on you all and I really feel for you.
The whole situation really is horrid. There you are, worrying about how much you will earn; and there we all are, worrying about the effect your low wages may have on us in the future.
I know I am lucky to be in the latter position but of course many of us have commitments based on our current salary and I think that is why we are so worried.
There are some, obvious, cabin crew haters who would like us all to be on a low salary and seem to feel that people like us only deserve a low wage but these people are best ignored by us all!!
As I said before, good luck and I do really believe that these levels of pay are unsustainable, just hang on in there and I hope it gets improved for you all soon. I am hopeful also that there is an end to all this IA soon and we can all get back to what we do best.
Take care x
