When his crews were on a Basic pay plus Sector Pay only,I was several times returned to where I had come from with a minor Tech problem. The Flight Deck decided it would be cost effective for them as it meant extra sector pay,although several of us on board were travelling back from a 10 day duty,and our Company used this "Low Cost" means of getting us back. This often meant eating into our days off,so it was particularly inconvenient,to say the least.I remember such faults as "Whistling from the Cabin Doors"-this happens on most well used Aircraft and is sorted by wet jay cloth stuffed around the seals,or Hosties skin cream to lubricate the dry seals!!!!!!!!!!!!Anyway this was happened on a regular basis having talked to other positioning crews with this crowd
It is about time would be passengers tried some alternatives to bleed MOl from some of his ill gotten gains!
