FR salary is "cut" every year... In my time in FR, the pay-adjustments have never been above the inflation. That's a pay-cut.

You see lots of staff at PIK walking from the terminal as many of them live, or stay, well within walking distance. As a training base, PIK has a steady turnover of F/O's as they move on to their prefered base. In the mean time, they mostly stay in accomodation near the terminal and don't need cars. The town is only a few hundred meters walk!
Same for the contractors that come for the odd week.
the ones who live in the area and drive, as a rule use the staff car park (it's cheap, and by the front door)
No talk of a pay cut, most bases have recently signed up to a four year pay deal.

Nothing said to any of us Brookfield guys either - i'm actually on a pay rise as the Pound crashes against the Euro, im up £200 on July's pay :ok:
