Speaking as cabin crew only on an fr contract, we get a basic wage plus flight hours. But what really gets me is many of my friends still in fr are sat at home on unpaid leave, while fr is trainning new crews and get them online after the course. But thats what you get we you dont have a union.

Last year when the news first came about forced unpaid leave we had 'managers' come over from Dublin, it got a little heated and we hinted that we would go on a go slow, work to rule, ie extra care on secuirty checks while on a turn around, and all join unite, we was told 'any collective action, and we will close the base'. He was just a gob shte like most in the white house. Crews are treated like crap, i've seen crews shouted at, demoted for poor sales, forced to break airport rules.

Ive also seen crew collecting money from EMT when we had the tax free checked a few years back.
