i like the rest of the ba pilot body so no point in IA to gain benefits for pilots yet to join the company. we rather niavely thought that ba wouldn't get the standard required and would have to up the package. the jury is out on that one!
If you were a bit more informed then you would realise that most of us didn't join for one reason alone. BA still offers a lot of other options to someone that comes from the likes of RYR/EZY/BACX etc.
However one can not blame someone outside the company for deteriorating terms and conditions. One has to be introspective and it's clear that everyone is just looking after their own.
You agree on the BARP scheme being awful but you let it happen.
I'm happy to support you guys since it will affect us aswell in the future but saying that it's our fault is just bollocks.
