Not in my eyes, but in the eyes of anybody numerate. You are asking for an increase in the rates of pay for anybody who stays in the job more than 7 years. That is an increase in pay, no ifs, no buts. Whether somebody doing the same job ets more is neither here nor there. Thats the contract you signed. Striking for more is striking for a pay rise.
It must be awful having to work with people you so clearly despise.
As a community I think you really have to get over this precious sort of behaviour. It is a stock repsonse from many that if somebody doesn't support you it is because they despise you and wish to persecute you. Well it's wrong and its just a way of burying your heads in the sand and refusing to discuss the issues.

As stated previously several times, BA flight crews pay is very competitive. Please extend us the courtesy of actually reading the thread before chipping in with uninformed comments.
