Christmas Bonus

[what_the_hell_was_that?]

In these times of doom & gloom, it's still nice to see that some airlines are handing out bonuses. I understand that Britannia are getting 0.5% extra in their December pay packets. I know it's not a lot of money (a couple of hundred quid for an F/O) but it's the thought that counts.

Me? I'm still waiting for my Marks&Spencers vouchers.

0.5% of a monthly paycheck is a couple of hundred quid?

Hmm, them guys get paid pretty good.
Any job openings over there?

[FLARE DAMIT]

0.5% of annual salary. Kind of puts it in perspective now. Innit

[what_the_hell_was_that?]

1-0 to Flare, it's 1/2% of annual. Sorry

[GLX]

I was made redundant before the idea of a bonus could be considered! but at least the redundancy was tax free - does that count as a bonus!*?

[what_the_hell_was_that?]

No, but all that extra leave you've got does

Best of luck

Raitrack £100 plus an allowance of £10 per head for the Chrissy P**S UP.

My Old Man's lucky! He's only lost 15% of his pay, others have lost their jobs!

I'm trying to remember when he last got a Chrissy bonus, but the brain cells aren't working too well this morning!

Like the first post said, this is a good thing.

Unfortunately "airline doing quite well thanks" doesn't make headlines. "airline in crisis" does.

Oh well....

I was waiting for my marks and spencer vouchers too but as someone said they have been cancelled, what can you buy for £25.00 anyway!!!!!!!!!!

[neil armstrong]

NON at my company.
Instead they are cutting back on allowences (I think managent has passed the course on "how to **** off your flightcrew").
So there will be a lot of bitching and moaning over the Holiday weeks.
O well lets fly some more on my days off into discretion with minimum rest because it's my HOBBY.

Merry Christmas

Neil
