Once again they are rubbing salt into the festering wound , with the excuse that times are bad and they can't afford any more . Well what about the years that this company made billions in profits . Some of those profits should have gone into a rainy day fund so that when times were bad ,like now ,funds would be available to recompense the aircrew .
This whole screw up is the fault of upper management who have yet to accept and take responsibility for their mess . If half the upper echelons of this company had been fired for the fuel debacle ,then perhaps I could swallow this ultimate slap in the face , but not in these circumstances .
So an 8% pay reduction must be resolved by a roster that's worked 8% less than published . It's really simple maths ,at 90 hours per month I need to loose just on 8 hours ,but it's better to do double in one month and get overtime the next . I'm already deciding when I suddenly won't be feeling very well .
