I have read the above thread with interest and just wanted to add a pretty average Capts view on the latest pay deal!
Having spent the last few months persuading collegues to join up at BALPA I am dismayed at the deal that is being propsed. I appreciate the work the cc have done thus far but the deal presented on Fri is just a rearrangement of current pay, having number crunched we end up a few hundered (yes, hundred) better off!! The reaction in the crew room has been one of exasperation and bewilderment.. I am sorry to say that my vote will be NO as I had fully expected it to be agreeing a fairer deal by this stage. A NO vote means hard times ahead but there is certainly the will to push this a lot further, the lesson is that the ballot will say NO until the deal is FAIR!!!
