yawn.

So flexicrew is abolished with immediate effect, and replaced with?....

How about...a permanent 'cadet' FO position, salary of £12k per annum, SSTR of 30k up front, no other benefits, oh and its part time (or no time) during winter months with pro-rata salary. After unfreezing of ATPL the 'cadet' will transfer to the current FO salary scale.

Two things you can be sure of :

1. The job applicants for these positions will keep coming in their thousands, blindly pushing and shoving to the front of the line, like teenage girls queuing for free tickets to see Justin Bieber.

2. Nothing will be done to prevent it. Company lawyers will find a way to legally implement it.


'Flexicrew' itself isn't really the issue is it.

There will be an entire workforce generation who simply expect to get paid nothing.
