Most the guys I work with in easy who went said it was a pay cut even from the RHS. Life's full of compromises - if you want long haul life then you'll put up with the money. The main problem is the perception of the A330. The same guys are telling me they are fleeced.. but if that's going to change then maybe it's a shrewd move. What ever happened to their holding pool? They ran a 330 course in July but that didn't account for all those in the 3 yr pool. Did the rest get binned?
