Answers to Rumours
Hi guys,
not posted here before but just been speaking in detail with someone quite high up re: pay deal. Just to answer some of the quiries already surfacing:
4.8% rise in basic back dated to April 1st
RPI rise in basic next year. (estimated 3.5%)
5 months of standby in 3 yrs (one's you've already done still count)
1 month is a stability block
You can request days off in ALL standby months (If these are granted they are guaranteed, if they are not you get 2 other guaranteed days off)
Crew down would be increased by 4.8% (This is covered in the pay deal documents as 4.8% rise on all variable elements)
No change to airshare.
Crew compliment to remain the same on A346.
Just in case you're wondering I don't work in the office, I'm, crew, and i've voted no all along so far but always taken time to get the full picture. It just seems this time the company has started to listen. They are giving us the previous deal with no strings attached which as far as I can tell when talking to crew downroute is what we've been after. Hope this helps.
