Solidarity deputy general secretary Deon Reyneke commented: “According to a report compiled by P E Corporate Services, our pilots earn 23% less than other airlines while first officers earn 40% less. Even though Mango is a low-cost airline, the pay gap is low. They told us that they will revert back to us. We will wait for them, but we will not move from the 8.5% that our members are demanding.”
