It's easy to figure out who you are A340yumyum.

Sudden Twang. I was rumbled over a year ago!!

Nomad,

Years 1 and 2 are a touch lean but after that you get 4% increment up to year 10 then a bit less up to year 12. Company has only been in existence for 10 years so no one has yet fallen off the top end.

Sector pay has been increased and you get a per diem plus long sector payments and the odd bit of overtime or a day off instead if you choose.

I'm going into year 4 shortly and my average take home after stoppages and pension contributions is around 3.5K give or take. Not brilliant but given that I work half as hard as I used to, not too bad either.

If you want more dosh, the go and work for Virgin/BA or Ryanair. You will give a whole lot more to the taxman, spend more on travelling if a commuter and will probably be not much better off. I used to earn about 20% more but still had about the same disposable every month as I do now. Plus I get more time at home and am less knackered, despite being 87 years old.

18 days per month is about right although you will probably only fly 1/3 of that. The odd standby and lots of time in decent to very good hotels, where you will spend some of those allowances. Always ensure that the Indians have given you your food and beverage discount. Cheeky buggers.

Great post, right until the end when it takes on an ugly turn ("cheeky buggers")...come on, you can leave that out.:=

Many thanks Zeddb, appreciate your assistance. Regards, nomad.

CAO,

Lighten up mate, only having a laugh. Have you ever spent any time in "
incredible India?" :E

Nomad,

Glad to be of assistance.

You are digging a deeper hole for yourself...:ugh::=

If you knew me at all, you would not be asking me if I have been to India...

Yes - but No but Yes - we don't know you. Pray enlighten, us, the foolish ignorant souls who enjoy a good laugh without, we hope, causing great offence.

I was wondering, is this all said whilst your head rocks from side to side?:p

No No! This is definitely A Gay Rights matter. I believe The Cheeky Buggers and their backing group are a very successful Crossover ensemble currently on A World Tour. They would not wish to be associated with dodgy doings, Cargo Airlines (although they send all their paraphernalia, speakers, minions, etc by such means) or indeed anything to do with Pprune.

I stand by what I said, and let's move on to the subject at hand...If you don't see any problem with what you said, then there must not be anything wrong with it, right?

Wow, must be a nice way to live your life hurling insults and not being held to account for it...must be nice to know everything about everything.

I'm done, and outta here...I do have a perspective (being an Atlas guy) that may be of use to someone, but it is not worth my blood pressure.

GSS morale misery
 

Jesus lighten up! You are bringing morale misery to this thread.

Is a job at GSS commutable from throughout UK or must one live relatively close to Stansted?

GSS morale misery
 

So what's the latest on this company guys/girls? Last few posts a few months old and OP over a year old.

Looks like BA/IAG and Qantas are trying the same tactic. Who will blink first? There will be casualties eventually:eek:


IAG searches for bargaining chip on freighter contract as yields tumble - the Loadstar

The 3 aircraft belong to Atlas Air anyway. I am sure they would have no problem finding customers for them.

I think Atlas would have a lot of trouble placing the aircraft...They have others unplaced...

Flite idol,

That article is interesting but seems to be 90% speculation and 10% guesswork. Airlines do that kind of playing one off against another all the time in order to drive a hard bargain. The SHA route got dropped but it could well reappear as others have come and gone over the years. JNB being a good example.

Not saying that it could never happen, but nothing has been said so far. I'll have to ask one of the drivers, who seem to be plugged into a higher source than the rest of us. Either that or they sit in on board meetings.

I'm not dusting the CV down just yet. :E

Not sure where your information comes from. I work here and I am telling you we have NO airplanes sitting on the ground, and a couple of customers looking for more lift.

Would it be smart to cut the fuel bill by getting 777F's instead?
