But if you compare it with the TOTAL COST of our operation, our salaries are hardly noticeable.
Give this man a cigar! Like the constant quacking on about how much additional fuel uplift costs the company, this is another area where the BS flows freely. For a LCC, the technical crew costs, as a percentage of overall cost of operating, are around 2%. Yes
TWO percent! If some of the disgraceful business practices that have allegedly emerged were immediately eliminated, the additional cost per ticket would be a few pence. Something to keep in mind next time the inevitable "you need to become more efficient" memo is spewed out.
