The decision by the DPA to accept 0% had nothing to do with guaranteeing expansion. It was a pragmatic decision. The company had made a loss and the optics of KA pilots demanding a pay rise just weren’t going to be good. No one at the meeting was happy with that. In fact no one even spoke in support of the motion. It carried because of the practicalities of the situation.
However should the company post a profit ( as expected) there is an expectation the company will compensate us for our patience. I wouldn’t expect the same vote next time.
