aviation technician with avionics rating. 28 years of online work experience
Greetings
What the airline sector wants is to have more pilots and thus be able to pay them 1.500 euros or 2.000, as happens in Spain, Shame on aviation how they have ruined it!
And he wants to have extra Passenger Cabin Crew so he can pay them their base salary. 700 euros at the level 12 of Iberia that does not even reach the minimum interprofessional salary.
Thanks for your input. It is important that this need comes hand in hand with fair wages for workers and also allows profitable operations for airlines..
interesting information although it should be more specific !!!
Of course, What would you like to know more specifically??
