My girlfriend is cabin crew and earns more than that. For 6 weeks training and with the responsibility for a door.
Every day there are more and more EZY flexicrew on the crew bus, no doubt just biding their time, 'slumming it' and getting some hours before moving on to that career airline...the problem is that career airline is trying to compete with EZY so slashes it's Ts and Cs...and so that lucrative, career airline contract isn't quite what they'd hoped for when they get there. The race to the bottom continues...
Of course - CTC, senior pilots/trainers in airlines and the unions have a hell of a lot to answer for too. More so. They have/had the power to stop this exploitation/profiteering. Prospective EZY cadets don't.
