The question is.. is it possible to make it through the first two or three years without going bankrupt?

Many people on flexicrew have anything between 10 and 20 flying hours rostered in November. This is not even enough to repay the HSBC loan that many have as they started training long before flexicrew was announced. How might they earn enough to pay rent, food, transport etc?

The skew of T+Cs between new joiners and the long established (A de M?) is absolutely vast. Even the old BA SSP scale still gave you a decent salary - and you were paid from day 1 (not 8 months in..).

The attitude of the management has enshrined a culture of resentment in a huge proportion of the workforce. If you don't believe that then you are just being naive.
