Deadeye I don't think you know what you are talking about.
Fact is, those on the new contract believe they DID achieve something while those on the old contract I guess many are unhappy yet there are also many that are relieved there was no strike. Of course there was a faction of 'all or nothing people' and a minority of those intent to strike just to give BA a bloody nose.
We got four more increments (and with the 4.60% increase) will take our basic to £20,088 at the top of the scale (up from £16,524 incl the 4.6%). Not pensionable, but lets face it. I am only 30 and I am counting on NO pension by the time i retire.
BA dropped their proposal to allocate us working positions.
BA finally agreed to have that all important paragraph re-inserted into our FCO's that indeed we ARE more likely to become ill than those working on the ground as well as making other important changes to EG300.
At the end of the day we still have the best wages (whether on old or new contract), terms and conditions in the UK, and among the best in the industry. And the majority of crew I work with are aware of this.
Willie had us for toast?? Is that why in their attempt to slash IFS costs by £37million they are now increasing IFS costs by £10million??
