Having left FR a couple of years ago, I am out of the loop now, but I do have old colleagues in LTN.
They tell me the five on, four off is good for them. There is very little loss in sector pay, but naturally some because of working less. FOs complain of losses due to training and standbys (but that is company-wide, not as a result of the agreement).
As the majority appear to think this is a bad idea, how is it that LTN appear to have been smiling about it for the past year? Knowing FR, they have probably been buttering up LTN for an example-setting exercise.
There must be a few people in LTN that write on these threads. Where are they on this thread to tell us how the last year has been? If it has not worked for them, surely they will be giving a 'protest' NO vote this year.
