Hi Chokdee, some excellent research has been done by our CC as part of our current pay claim. Comparisons were made with all of the major European and Far Eastern carriers who operate similar routes and equipment, and included levels of pay, benefits, seat cost/mile, produtivity of the workforce etc. The conclusion was that we're getting shafted.

To get back to the original point of this thread - the grass is not green here at the moment. There is considerable anger and frustration at the relentless erosion of our terms and conditions and I would not be surprised to see some form of industrial action taking place before Christmas. Don't come here for the lifestyle either. As I write, I've no idea what I am doing next month - no roster, no explanation.

One positive though, time to command for those at the bottom of the list is improving all the time as the number of leavers accelerates!
