The engineers have been shafted for years over pay deals.This year we appear to be holding out for a better raise (ie above 1.5%).We are constantly under threat of outsourcing of engineering both for line maintenance and base maintenance. We didn't get a raise last year due to the financial position of the airline .This year we are offered 1.5% and the financial position is meant to be worse !Somebody is telling porky's .The engineering morale has never been so low.Could be a good year for a strike !!!!!!!!
