I hope I don't get shot down for this, but if they have put new incriments into the new entrant pay scale, upto £18600 that's not too bad, and I don't feel too bad about them taking the purser off the upper deck because to my knowledge, doesn't a junior purser start on £17000 basic anyway, therefore they may have made it so it'll take longer to get promoted, but at least our pay will still be the same or better than if we got purser anyway. Just wondering now though, what happens to all the pursers? Surely we're gonna have an excess of them??? Will they just work down a grade? Does that mean less trips for everbody therefore less money and more 24 hour availables?
I'm not totally sure about what I'm saying though, so I hope I've got the right end of the stick. Have to say, the way it stands at the moment I'm still more than slightly dissapointed about the purser thing. Glad we didn't have to strike though. Let's see what comes forth in the next few days!
