Thanks vs_lhr, didn't realise they earnt that much more but basic pay wise, i think is not much difference.

Personally i doubt the vs crew will end up with a good deal. The amount of money that is/has been spent with reprotecting passengers etc for the flights that they have cancelled so far, plus the extra money the crew will get who work on strike days probably equates to what a 2-3% pay rise is. I'm not sure on the actual figures so forgive me if it is way way out.

With that kinda money gone, if they do end up giving you a pay rise, im sure there will be many strings attached to it and costs will be scrutinised in every way. Crew Benefits will prob be the first to go.

Again, just re think about all the striking and what effect it will have in the long term.
