It’s early so I’d need a coffee before looking at the Maths of the 8.5% figure you’ve come up with but I suspect like many I’d disagree very strongly with incorporating your annual increment into this .... probably for obvious reasons.
As far as your idea of putting pay to one side and now opening discussions about all the other gripes (and I’d agree with everything on your list)...if this current dispute does come unravelled over the next few days we need to ask ourselves exactly what leverage are BALPA going to be left with hold the line on all other aspects of T&Cs?
For example if BA now turns around and says, actually, no we won’t enter into debate about rostering, it’s legal so JSS stays as it is, quite what credible weapons have BALPA now got left in the arsenal?
