I read this memo about the "new deal." in it's whole threatening entirety. DO NOT VOTE FOR IT. All this crap about asking the ltn based pilots how good the 5/4 is etc, etc. I was ltn on this deal and it's not worth the paper it's written on. I was earning less than I was 3 years ago. My sector pay was on average down £1000 per month due to constant standby. The roster is unstable between Jan and April, so you can't plan anything. A/L is imposed on you at random, so when you take the leave YOU planned in the previous April, they tell you you've had too much and won't pay you. I had a very important commitment in the unstable period and I'd planned leave the year before. 2 weeks before the event and the roster changed to 5/3. My pattern was thrown into chaos. I told personnel numerous times I couldn't fly, but they did nothing until the last minute. I was told I had to operate and the only way I couldn't was "if I was dead." They're a bunch of c*nts. Glad I'm out of there, but I look forward to seeing an apron of blue and yellow aircraft with no-one to fly them. Get a union now!
