Quite correct. Crew wages contribute very little towards overall costs. If you think of it it costs an average pax less than a pound fo an average pilot. Now airport charges increase of 50% will affect financial performance significantly.
The management of course will tell you whatever suites them best at the time, and if you won't believe it they will say it a 100 times until you do.
Our ceo is quite good at this. £25k for new joiners ( luckily rejected ). And guess what quote: " it really is a good deal". Must have heard it a 100 times.!
Now for new Parc joiners
- There is abslutly no guarantee you will get a permanent contract even after 2 years, some approaching 3 years.
- If it comes to signing one the conditions are likely to be much much lower then those that present permanent F/O's are on, ( look 25k proposal) W B is loughing all the way to the bank as his wife is a senior management at Parc.
- People are being laid off over winter period untill march.
- I believe now is the time where new joiner would much better off at ryanair.
