It would be interesting to see if the tables were turned and there was a pilot shortage, and companies on the whole were offering far higher pay rises than last year to keep their staff. Would Austin Reid then renege on the 2 year pay deal to offer MORE money? I think not. This pay deal should work both ways. Both sides have agreed to it and should stick to it. Things are on the upturn, why is this company so short sighted? It creates nothing but bad feeling and morale.
