true - I have only to 'suffer' a 5 year increase but
without any of the sweeteners offered to BALPA or BASSA.
I would also point out that you are not being asked to work an extra 10 years for nothing - from the day I joined this company I have listened to FC complaining about being forced out at 55 and I've lost count of the times I've gone on the flight deck of other airlines and found 'retired' BA FC.
The increments do not affect anybody other than post 1997 joiners.
who will be with the company for decades to come - boosting their take-home pay by a significant amount.
I can see why you think the results didnt make a strike worthwhile but you forget that the majority of ground staff are not on the very generous salary package that you are and an increase in pensionable pay and extra increments would make a big difference to their standard of living
