Brain fade,i was about to say,im still waiting for last year's xmas bonus!!!

Got a crappy luggage tag as a reward for being leisure airline of the year...... Think ill ebay it.

No xmas bonus, in previous years we got a 25quid M&S gift voucher.

Nice thankyou considering the airline's making some its biggest profits this year....

I got a better bonus from my previous jobs back in the day when the salaries were less than 15k. Non aviation mind you!

Merry :mad: Xmas Monarch

Well easy ryder you will insist on staying there.
Anyway I am sure that luggage tag will be indispensible in your future career.
Have a good one,
Office Pest.

hehe!! :E

Let me know what the big squeezy give ya next yr bud!

merry xmas and happy new year! :ok:

My Xmas bonus is a 6am check in on boxing day.... I feel so lucky!!!!

Actually I don't mind, really. Considering how others in the world have a pretty horrible time, I feel rather priviledged.:)

Merry Christmas to all, hope all your dreams come true

It is so long ago I have forgotten what an xmas bonus is?

Could be: Neighbours shouting & Swearing!
Xmas eating away at your patience!
Visiting relatives who you don't see anyway!
Police all over the place!
A trash load of TV!
The Wife spending unnecessary!
Miserable weather e.g LHR!

Sadly in many Airline's views staff are not a 'Person' they are a 'Number' now!

But you are the 'Link' of the chain for them, And without you they would be no Monarch!

Merry Xmas + A Happy Yule Year.;)

Xmas Bonus: Extra fortnight's pay, over and above the salary I normally make... :ok:

Not bad for a GA pilot in NZ!!

My xmas bonus; extra extra long days due to "unforeseen" wx conditions! Better hit the sack, in 10 hours I will give it another try. Getting fecking tired of this neverending fog.:eek:

somewhat bitter landing gear operator.

Happy xmas.

xmas
 

$35 towards dinner, put on the company card =)

QANTAS- I was going to complain about the 50c diary complete with a phone list that is accurate until the next round of rentrenchments (about 2 weeks).

Then I read these posts and thought, yep these guys get sweetFA, and I get a crappy diary. Maybe I am doing OK.

BUT THEN, What do office working plebs get? Christmas parties, guaranteed days off and some sort of a decent pressy.

We are chumps, aren't we?

Christmas bonus: Diddly-squat!
Had Christmas Day off but they have now taken that away as well!

I'll swap your baggage tag for a crappy Qantas diary.

Even Emerald used to give a £10 voucher and signed Christmas card.

Better than a poke in the eye:ok:

Personally, I'd find it a complete insult to be given a voucher with a face value of £10. Bearing in mind the Company probably got a 15-20% bulk discount from the retailer , you're worth £8! Send it back to them. They need it more than you by the sound of it.

Better than a poke in the eye? It is a poke in the eye!

The boss didn't front with any additional coin but the customer dropped a 1000 euros into the sky rocket, each, on arrival. No complaints about that let me tell ya. Wifey will get some nice jewellery this Christmas :ok:

D

Actually any payment like this constitutes a benefit as far as the revenue are concerned in the Uk. In fact the company has to pay the the tax on the voucher. The tax payment is then considered a benefit and tax has to paid on that etc. So in fact your £10 voucher probably costs them something like £16.60.

I think these vouchers are simply a gesture sent out with the Christmas card and if you want to feel insulted it probably says more about you than it does them. Lets be honest these are small tokens rather than an integral part of your contract. Anything is a bonus.

A bottle of brandy with a handwritten gift tag. Don't expect anything so its a bonus!! 12 hr shifts, Days xmas eve, nights xmas day and boxing day, days new years eve and new years day. Brandy will have to wait until january...:ok:

come on brainfade, we've been given the choice between a P45 or a change of employer.:hmm:

We got £600, which I think is pretty good.:ok:

Now thats what i'm talkin about!! :ok: :ok:
