1. Salary/ Cost of living ratio (not particularly attractive compared to European Airlines)
2. Generally declining package
3. Unacceptable accommodation
4. Leave that is calculated fraudulently i.e. removing days off to give leave
5. Fraudulent calculation of flight hours
6. Generally poor safety practices with regard to fatigue and declining experience levels
7. Clearly poor labour relations
1. Sending home around 2500-3000 euro a month. I'm married but no children
2. Yes but havent seen it decline over the last 2 years
3. 3 bedroom apartment with georgous view. Honestly, something I could nevver afford and perfect for newlyweds.
4. Have been getting 30-40 days each year and most of my preferences (I do not need peak so I dont bid for it)
5. Yes but have not been maxed out yet since joining (850 ish)
6. I'm 28 years old and yes after night turns im tired but not more tired than my previous experience in shorthaul
7. Welcome to the big leagues
