again yes we do get the short turnaround payments, they are known as CAT payments.
glamgirl, if you took the time to speak to crew at LHR you would quickly discover that few of us are in the mood for striking. we are keenly aware that times are tough within the industry and also accept that some parts of our operations at LHR could do with modernising. but a wholescale downgrading of our pay is not something any of us can accept. I don't mind working more if it means maintaining my salary but we all live to our means and I really cannot afford a pay cut- and I do not live lavishly believe me!
