I wonder.......could it be being used for the Performance Related Pay bonuses that will be handed out on attainment of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) .
See how brave you are everyone. Why not ask TDLF, Chief Pilots, Training Managers, Training Captains, Fleet Managers, General Managers how performance related pay affects THEM. Go on, you have nothing to lose but your chains, and your innocence - although of course you will need to filter and judge the reply; remember how NMs article about his pay was suddenly amended by himself after all the other management saw it!!!!
That said, the saving is just numbers. They are hoping the City will believe it all - personally, post-Enron, I don't think the City are that thick.
