JET2 update
Via PM: Bad taste among the pilot community at what has come across as deception by the company. Company agreed via BALPA to back track yet again on increasing pay from the current 70%, the next day it emerges that cabin crew, engineers and managers will have their pay increased up to 90%. Initially company refused to comment but have recognised the distaste and sent out an email from the top explaining that pilots are essentially already getting too much and that they were losing people to non flying roles because the 70% pay was too low. Has pissed alot of people off particularly the trainers who have been working full time throughout. No choice but to accept for now but yet another own goal that will cost them crew once opportunities open up elsewhere.
