CM, thanks for your reply......is the below about correct as an example.
.
............................................ground staff ....... flying staff
.
Pensionable pay now..................£40K.....................£40K.......... .......
.
Pensionable pay after changes.....£40K.....................£47.5K...............
.
I have played with these numbers for hours, but the results are always the same, appears as a general rule the flying staff seem to come out getting a 19% pay rise for pensionable purposes.
.
Please don't get me wrong, I think BALPA have done a super job for the flying staff, I just think it might be a little more fair if ground staff could be treated the same, I would guess if the company offered all staff the same deal, we could put all these pension problems behind us and get back to looking after the customers.!!!
