Wiggy - my pal is under the impression that the deal on offer is 11.5% over three years. Whether there are conditions attached such as increased productivity or reduced 'benefits' in lieu, I have no idea as I have not been following the issue that closely. The BA pilots I know tell me that they want an increased share of BA profits to retain their position relative to other 'major' carriers.
As I said earlier, I have absolutely no axe to grind on this one but there must surely come a point when public perception about potential strike action becomes a very pertinent factor. Would I normally consider BA to travel - yes, would I think about booking with them until this issue is settled - no.
