No pay rise this year for the troops, much belt tightening except; guess whoes pay went up from £206,487 in 2008 to £502,487 in 2009.

Must be good to get a doubling of your basic pay, plus a hefty performance bonus.
Not that the rest of Jet2 staff would know what it feels like, even though the company posted such good financial results this year.
Well done, PM, especially since it's all about saving on salary costs this winter, eh?
"All for one and...... oh."

Too bothered to look for report but I presume it is PM who've got this increase? So what is wrong? If I'm a shareholder of airline (actual I am, but not Jet2) I would not object to increse the pay of CEO/MD who made a profit when most if not all the industry made losses.

Depends whether that CEO, whilst taking a huge pay rise and bonus with one hand, is with the other hand demanding cost cuttings (specifically on worker salaries) and denying pay rises to anyone else (workforce-wise).
Recognition of success - great (if everyone's efforts are recognised).
Hypocrisy and self-serving - not great at all.

If its a pay rise then its a huge piss take, especially with the crew council meeting tomorrow , when the rumor is for some bad news.
If its shown as a dividend payout then even I got a very small one of those. Alternativly it could be hidden as a pay rise by way of repayment from the company for a Directors Loan but I haven't seen the annual accounts either yet..................

I find this discussion quite fascinating. You are not going to get a pay rise but you still have a job. In the current conditions can you tell me why that is a problem?
If you were made redundant then you would have lost your job and no one else would be particularly bothered.
If PM is made redundant then he will have lost his shirt and ALL of you will be out of work.
Speaking as an ex-Laker employee, I want my boss to be making lots of money because, if he is, then I am going to do all right.
Do you really want to work for a loser?

Who took the risk all those years ago and invested a large part of his personal stake in a small and relatively unknown (outside the cargo world ) airline called Channel Express ???
He who takes the risk reaps the reward and gets to dictate the terms and conditions.
We all know people out of work who took 100% pay cut but crikey their terms and conditions were fantastic right up to the day before they were made redundant.
Personally i am happy lets see where the market takes us. Supply and demand is key,when there is a demand for pilots then i am sure the T's and C's will go up, at the moment the demand is low therefore you do not really have a negotiating leg to stand on.
I am waiting for someone to shout "its not fair" well no on a level playing field it is not fair. On the point of reduced Summer leave well you had the option to opt in or opt out. Personally i opted to take Summer leave and the way it worked on my roster was fantastic and i got more leave than i anticipated. What i have noticed is that my Summer roster is approx 60% more stable this Summer than last, last year i flew every standby, this year i have standby's that actually remain as standbys. So if the by product of reduced Summer leave was in fact a much more stable roster then personally i think it was a fair trade.
Surely like every other business in the UK the company are going to cut their costs which is what they are doing. They will cut the costs until we all "squeak", however if that means i retain my salary and my job and the company expands in the future then personally it gets my support.
In this day and age you have to be a realist, the reality is you have a job probably close to your family home, probably fly quite sociable hours, get a reasonable salary, have a very good chance of having a job this time next year.
The reality of a P45 is an even harsher option.............

Who the h@ll are you Captainkingkong? Let me tell you once and for all this forum is not the place for someone to post sensible, level-headed and spot on comments about Jet2 - and you are a company employee to boot! Please don't do it again.

I'm sure PM has the right to take the pay rise he has as the main shareholder and decision maker within the company and I won't begrudge it either. However he can't expect all the workers to be happy just because we have a job when he can withdraw so much from the company in the current economic climate. A more realistic figure would have been a bit more GDF.
Lead by example PM.

How foolish of me to take the reality check. Note to self..."Stop being sensible.. Stop being sensible"
However i shall return to the Del Boy Trotter Mantra for life ..
option A ) "He Who Dares wins Rodney"
or
option B ) "This time next year we will be millionaires"
or option C "Lovely jubblies"
You choose which one you live your life by, or if you really fancy a gamble try them both.
So top of every flight plan i must write "Must stop enjoying this job.. Must stop being a realist" i will do my lines and write out 100 times and go and stand in the naughty pilot corner..
