The crunch will come if/when "permanent" contracts are offered in say Spain (given that the 2 year period has been "ignored" in HEL, not a foregone conclusion ) At this point it will become evident whether the renumeration package offered is meant to reflect core conditions with an equivalency adjustment for the variation in cost of living, or. . . whether what is offered is loosely based on the "local" market I.E a plummet towards those "enjoyed"
by our colleagues in Vueling.
If we look at the T's & C's of the Spanish based Cabin Crew that may be taken as an indication of the likely outcome ( that we would be wise to take heed of. )
I guess LGW guys can look to easyjet to see what the future holds for them financially.
The establishment of bases in Spain /Bangkok etc is for what ? to be cheaper.
Don't expect miracles.
