Eastern Airways Pay Increase???
 

Has RL forgotten his hard working staff this year regarding a pay increase in line with inflation?

It was around this time last year, I think, that staff had their last pay scales reviewed.

Whats morale and turnover of staff like at Eastern presently?

Morale = Low
Turnover = High

Please Have a little sympathy for Ricky and Brian, it cant be easy spending all that money ,

pay rise in line with inflation? you must be joking, this is one company that Gord Browns message will be well welcomed in.

Received letter this morning. Pay rise in next pay slip to be back dated to 1st of July and reviewed in 3 months.

Morale=Low; Turnover=High...

...so that's about 99% of the airlines worldwide in the same big boat then...:rolleyes:

If you say so, its more a case of greed on the managements part. Shame on them.:yuk:

Hey, at least you guys got a pay rise!! :mad:

Yes and that is how it has always been each year i'm told!

Never mind the current climate.

Profit made!
 

Company reporting £4 million pre-tax profit with an £85 million turnover!!

Pay increase?! :rolleyes:

i think RPI stands at something at 5% at the moment a 2 percent increase hardly covers that, if anything, people are working for less than last year, milelage claim still rubbish, along with the terms and conditions.

never mind that this massive increase will be reviewed in a few months time, i can bet your bottom dollar ricky will only only give another 1%, leaving his hard working crews to struggle on.

even when i used to work for eastern i always remember getting those personally signed letters from ricky about our yearly increase, and it was always less than inflation. im so glad i work for a company where im well looked after!

Oh GMIMA

Dont start bashing Eastern again for gawds sake !!!

At least Eastern got something this year we got zilch !!!

HFS:mad:

Eastern
 

There may be tough times ahead in the industry. I hope not for all of our sakes.

Eastern though have an oil based pax base (not all of them of course). And those oil companies are looking for oil everywhere. They also have a busy charter base at the moment.

That means that the flight crew may be safe in an uncertain future.

Yes, I know it could all go tits up, but i am hoping not.

So, at the moment, I am glad to be in work and getting some pay rise. Even though the pay in not brilliant, mine has gone up c£2500.00 in one year.

Could someone update the details on ppjn?
Surely 36.5K for a Saab Capt can't be right.
Are the Saab and J41 crews on the same scale?

'Surely 36.5K for a Saab Capt can't be right.'

Er, yes it can! Duty pay will push that closer to £40k though. Off the top of my head think the Jetstream guys are on around £750/annum less than Saab crew.

Hi there. Sorry to bother you but I wanted to ask u is the pay for FO on S2000 with eastern is how much nowadays? I'm getting hired and I got a family of 3. Would u say I could survive on their pay? And do I get pay increase every Six month? Kindly shed some light on the matter. Cheers

not to state the obvious but would all this info surely not be stated in you contract of employment?

Starting pay is about £20 k I think

It is pay rise time of year apparently though!

More experienced people leaving. One giving one weeks notice. More I know are on the way.

Lets see if HUY can see whats happening and going to happen.

Don't tell him he may be a spy. :)

Rumour is about 4 or 5 guys are working their notice. There will be no pay rise, there are plenty of pilots looking for jobs. Anyhow easterns pay scale is so far behind everyone else's it's still going to be crap if we do get one.
