I am sad to say that the contract and associated T's and C's are getting eroded just like the low cost market.

The advertised market rate +10% is in reality market rate -10%, you would be better off in a charter or low cost company per month. The rosters are harder than charter due to time zone shifts along with commuting (unless you live in london on £1200/month) and back to back trips or trips followed by european return flights. The most recent cost saving is cutting back on crew food, so you have to feed yourself. Ryanair did that.

The most frustrating thing is the fact that they have been designing rosters, contracts and working conditions for years, so why are there so many problems arising with MF? Why is 30% of the fleet on sick leave due fatigue or grounded because they are out of hours? Why are people leaving to go back to old jobs or leaving to get out of flying? Why are there so many CHIRP reports being filled?

Go in with your eyes open people!
