So Cirrus , you 'heard' that Lion try to reduce salary?
I think all airlines play that game dont they?
I have a colleague whos son lost his job in Europe on turboprops and then after 2yrs unemployed took what was left of his savings and redundancy money , did the B737NGtype rating and is with Lion Air now as an f/o.
He netts £2300/mth , flying 100hrs/mth and stops flying at the legal max which he sais there is no pressure to exceed but they will try if you let them.
6 days on 1 off till out of hours every month.
He grits his teeth and gets on with it and has been in the Qatar holding pool for 8mths and now more recently Emirates too which is tough.
P2F is better than the dole and has opened up doors for him.
Its horrible but you can only blame Ryanair and Easyjet for starting this ball rolling.
