You're quite right in your statement. Crew wages are a very small factor in overall financial performance , unless they're disproportionally higher than the company average. To seriously affect they would have to be 2 perhaps 3 fold higher then the company average. as it stands it costs an average pax less than a pound to pay for a pilot on a particular flight, now think about the average ticket price.
As for easy management they ill tell you whatever suites them best at the time. And if at first you don't believe it they will repeated it a 100 times until you do.
Our ceo (obe) is very good at this. If you think a new deal of £25000 ( luckily rejected) for new joiners is good , then you must be totaly out of touch, or very clever. Or she is so very clever.
Now close your eyes and say "this is a good deal" a 100 times.
Now for new guys coming via Parc.
- Thers absolutely no guarantie you will get a permanent contract even after 2 years of flexy gipsy existance. Some approaching 3 years.
- No one knows what conditions will be on the table when it comes to signing one. They are very likely to be much much lover then the present ones that permanent f/o's are on. ( look £25k proposal)
- Don't expect Parc to tell you any of the above.
- Warick B must be loughing all the way to the bank ( as I mentioned earlier his wife is senior management at Parc, no wander we have flexi contractc here)
- I believe you'd much better off going to ryanair.
