I see in the press today that as well as Bristow accepting their latest pay offer, Scotia pilots will be offered next week deals which mean that Captains can get pay increases of £21000 by May 2004 and co-pilots £10000 by the same date. However, Scotia has stated that this would mean some re-structuring in the company (another word for redundanciies?!)
Also with Bond now talking to oil companies, and manufacturers about aircraft, I expect that those that would be made redundant due to either these pay scale increases or contract losses will no doubt be sucked up by Bond at lower pay scales (and in a company that will no doubt have no BALPA or other union recognition!!)
