Anybody heard Brian Montague on the weekly message, he seems to think that this pay offer will represent a 9% increase over the 2 years (since the wage bill will go up 9% due annual increments etc) we are technically being offered 9% over 2 years.
Wasn't it Mark Twain who said lies damned lies and statistics???
This whole offer is a waste of time, traffic levels pre 911 were rising year on year, the regional airports have seen massive increases in movements (look at the PH figures)
It's time we made a stand and say to management that we DESERVE to be paid more.
A graduate working at Debenhams in London, 22 yrs old, no experience, no responsibility gets paid circa 30K.
A newly valid controller at a regional airport responsible for thousands of lives each day gets 32K (inc UHP)
Is this right???? I think not
