Vote Yes !! - Are you having a laugh !? This is where negotiations begin properly with the company

Interesting how the last few posts advocating how good the deal is are from brand new probationary posters - both opf which registered the same day the deal was announced. I smell a rat.

Given how the companies terrible offers have all been kicked in to touch and now finally we have what should have been the starting point now is the time to start negotiations. Voting yes would be playing straight into the managements hands. Its 2nd rate car salesmen tactics, start with horrendous offers and "play negotiate" all the way up to what your original starting price was going to be anyway. Then the customer (in this case the crew) believe they have done well and in the background the salesperson (management) are laughing all the way to the bank.

Current offer with no extra standby, revised trip pay and then I'll think about a yes. In short we are still having to give an extra month of standby for FREE ! The cost of living and RPI rise means we are no better off financially.
