And yes, the bigger issue around CC pay should be how do the LCC get away with paying such appalling wages. Yes, the day job can be a bit... get them on the plane, safety demonstration, go round with the drinks and duty free, get them off the plane, but they're well trained and when the day comes that something goes belly up they've a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. £15k a year is frankly an appalling wage considering what is expected of them.
