I voted 'no' to EBA8 because I reckoned we could do better. 'Better' to me wasn't a pay rise for A380 S/Os so that they could earn more than 744 S/Os who already earn more than 767 F/Os.
Here is our chance to 'bury' the day 1 lottery and bring all S/Os onto the same pay rate. Instead it appears we're going to continue the charade and further disadvantage those who take promotion in the first few years in order to protect the few who can't/won't take promotion in the first dozen?
I hope that the rumours are wrong because if this is the way it goes down I'll be very disappointed in this 'new' AIPA. The pendulum will have swung back too far the other way.
