albertoli,
I have been at easy for 4+ years. Although I am waiting with a lot of others for a command course (maybe this year, maybe next), I write this as a SFO, for SFOs - the future of the company.
I sold my house to pay for the job. This has screwed me. Being taken out of the housing market is not good to say the least.
I earn £39,000. This month I took home £2,350. I have yet to find a comparable airline that pays a 4 year, 4,000 hour SFO this little.
My pension will mature at £11,000 pa. Maybe they'll throw in a cardboard box.
I have received bonuses over the last 4 years. They include (in no particular order): a book, a biro, some arse wipes (I am not joking) and a bottle of shampoo.
If I look on ppjn, I find my earnings at the very bottom of the list. Luckily, there are redeeming features - most notably the fact that the recruitment department, for all their failings, are good at filtering out the idiots.
