...All the while the whole seniority debate is propped up by nice chunky salaries at the top with the added bonus of a final salary scheme to make the wait all worthwhile. Now there is a foul stench to this whole thing... How long will it be before the armies of well intentioned twentysomethings with a pocketful of debt and tat salaries...
Within your own sector non-seniority based systems (like the corporate market) have seen a jump in wages that far outstrip the airlines. Go figure.
Ah yes, the corporate sector....
That'd be the sector that today (
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...pound13bn.html) is reported to have shelled out £12.6 billion of bonuses inspite of the £15 billion hole in UK bank finances...where the guys at the top get 8 figure salaries (not 6, and even, when they f**k everything up!) and the guys at the bottom get...?
What a paragon of virtue that sector is....the stench of it....
I guess you fly a desk
Devillish?
So you ought to appreciate that its the devilish detail that renders your "broad brushstroke" characterisation of the BA situation somewhat wide of the mark...
Answer me why, if BA's intention was only to fly a "handful" (6, was it?) of OS aircraft (out of 200+?), and they already make a good 10% margin on a £9 billion turnover (more if corporate hadn't frittered away £XXX million in fines and compensation), they'd even want to touch pilot T&C's?
Corporate "smash and grab"?
Ah, the hegemony of big business....
Tell you what though,
Genghis Khan is right...
