Ott compares Monarch's terms and conditions with FCA's present ones. It is generally thought that these terms and conditions are to be significantly reduced after the latest pay negotiations are completed. They were supposed to have been completed at the begining of January. The general feeling is that the proposals being discussed are so detrimental to our, and new pilots terms and conditions that this is why it is taking so long to get an agreement between BALPA and the company.
In short, if Monarch can introduce a new scale for pilots it would be naive to even suggest that FCA is not working very hard to introduce them too, aswell as further reduce the cost of the airline.
Time to command is longer than Monarch's!!
