It would cost the company NOTHING to give pilots a fair shake in ezy.
Follow me closely:
Average easy pilot makes £50,000
Increase the renumeration by 25% (in pay, pension, whatever)
Cost to company £12,500 per pilot
1200 pilots (and decreasing) : Total cost £15,000,000 per year
35,000,000 passengers per year
Increment required per ticket: 15 million/35 million = £0.43 per ticket
Basically nothing.
These figures aren't exact but you know where I'm coming from.
A realistic threat of industrial is required now. No more rubbish negotiations helping the company with its obvious goal in achieving a 51% vote in favour of a rubbish "deal".
