What 's going on???
I am sure that I have read in these postings rumours of pilot shortage, pay increases of 30%and pilots taking action to improve their lot after years of falling behind in the pay stakes.
BALPA today sent me a copy of AIRWAVES. It is reported that Monarch have settled for 3.5%, Air 2000 3.75%. Britannia are negotiating a deal which would give them 3.2%.
I really believed that as a group we were going to take advantage of the present climate.
Looks like another good opportunity missed for pilots to improve their lot.
Never mind we might get another chance in ten years.
Are there any Monarch, Air 2000 or Britannia pilots out there who can share the secret of how to "negotiate" such a pay deal?
