Just a quick recall on destination payments. These came about after BEP in the 90's and amount to a pot of money which was allocated to IFS by the company in lieu of other savings. The money became destination payments as a way of trying to fairly allocate the money back to crew. It was considered fair to place the money on low earning routes or routes which just missed out on premium payments. I know it seems an anomaly and the term destination payment perhaps doesn't help but IFS acknowledge that this is a legitimate part of the budget. If there is a fairer way, and a meaningful way, to allocate the money across the board then I am more than willing to discuss this.
