Ignnition overide,
Not all BA pilots belong to the union, but about 95% do. And yes I believe the majority of those members are now very serious about recieving comparable pay to the major European airlines. Where apathy has to an extent ruled in the past the realisation that we have fallen a long way behind is focusing peoples resolve.
Members meetings have been organised in early July to discuss the agenda for the forthcoming pay negotiations with BA. Also on the table will be discussions on strategy for the very possible industrial action that will be required.
We can thank our colleagues in other European airlines such as Lufthansa for showing the way forward. You cannot read accross directly from one airline to another but their experience will certainly prove very helpful.
We have seen greater communications between the various airline unions which is a nice step forward.
There will be difficult times in the long road ahead, but it is my belief that there is now the resolve in BA to see it through.
Regards
Exeng
