Take it away they will.Refer to final clause.Should the company be forced to recognise any union or pilot association,the "deal" will revert to 2000 agreement.you will not be starting negotiaitons from a HIGHER BASELINE".that is about the only thing you can rely on from this farce of a document.
also remember that signing a letter of support for the erc is not you getting what is in this document.rather you signing to support the erc's submission of this document(initially formulated by management and rejected by the overwhelming pilot body).this will be the initial negotiation position,no guarantees that you are going to get anywhere near this supposed great deal.wake up and smell the coffee.this is but a further attempt to push pilot terms and conditions down the pan. see that you are a captain and will take 24 quid an hour.have a good look at how lining your pockets will affect others.
ask yourself the question,why do you think most f/o's not in balpa(a suggestion which i know to be wrong)?is it because thay are consistently shat upon by management and colleagues alike,and see nought but bad example.maybe you should try to convince them that they should be in balpa and not incorrectly assuming that they are not.you will regret signing up to this and you know it,but you feel helpless,you are not!
