Results from the Regional ballot are due on Friday, the CC told crews that the increase (sic) was to be imposed from the 1st of June so you might as well vote for it!
Needless to say it didn’t take most long to realise that what it meant was you could vote NO and still get a pay rise (of sorts?). The company has added that if mainline or baby get more than 1.5% ,then regional will get the same (so you don’t need BALPA is the implied message!)
Again its seen for what it is, they think everyone is either happy or stupid, the current betting is that the pay offer will be rejected by 80%+ and the BALPA vote the following month will be 75%+ in favour….
Oh happy days…….
