The rise is not inflation busting, it is RPI + 0.2% paid 3 months late and not back dated, it equates to a less than RPI rise over the first 12 months then RPI for the next 12.I don't think BASSA have got any new monies out of BA despite the huge ballot in favour of IA, they have lost the 4th purser the 18.5% increase in pensioable pay mirrors what the flight deck got without resorting to IA, they have lost BIG time.
