How in the hell can you say it’s a good offer? I work for them and I’ve taken 24hrs to wade through it using my own circumstances, and it sure as hell is not a good offer at all.
What you mean is ‘
Tough cheese BA, you had it coming. Sod the lot of you’. Your warmth is touching.
For obvious reasons I don’t imagine that BA Pilots are going to win public hearts and minds over this, because a short trawl through even our own industry reveals that everybody hates pilots anyway. (
Curious really, as they are quite happy to entrust their lives and the lives of their loved ones to us – with good reason)
The only people who are going to look after our own financial futures are ourselves. This proposal is FORCING us to work to the age of 65 (
Oh, and by the way, it will be 65 wrt recent ICAO acceptance this week) and then short changing us to the tune of about £250,000 each for the case of the average 24 yr pilot.
They dress this sham up as a £500m cash injection, and all the small people, those loyal foot soldiers, the naïve trolley dollies, see a quick fix which sounds good. Only BA, and the more savvy, realise the Trojan Horse this joke is. It is a confidence trick, conning old ladies out of their life savings. Preying on the innocent and ignorant for their own gratuitous avarice.
I would rather see BA fail than to have these bastards succeed.
I’ll take on the opposition anyday. It’s my management I can’t beat!
