I heard they've settled for A320 + only a few %, with an optimistic step for the 787 promised in a couple of years... Sounds like the Virgin promise of 'a raise when we're up'n'running.' I hope the J* pilots get decent allowances and a safety-net work credit system because;

a. sitting somewhere for up to 4 days,
b. because J* flies there only twice/week,
c. while getting nothing but stick-time pay,
d. as the company say you're on days off since you're not flying,
e. only to get home for a day then do it again (because you've just had 3 days off in slip port!),

is not conducive to family, friends or 1000 hours per year in stick pay.

I believe it still has to be voted on. J* guys and gals; consider wisely.
