The BALPA deal ?
Let me take a wild guess from reading todays Mail on Sunday.
1/Pilots pay point 24 scale/increments will be slowed down a little and this will save cash in the short term.
2/Pilots will still be able to get to that great 24 scale/increment due NRD now 65 instead of 55.
3/Pilots taking VS will get good T+C's, just like all the managers who took the deal before xmas 2008, other staff will be be getting IVS with legal min T+C's.
4/Pilots continue to get that magic 17.5% increase in their Pen Pay being funded by the company/other staff.
5/Pilots still maintain their present deal inside pensions, as paying least in and getting most out.
May be a few other items like a smaller cheeseboard etc etc etc.
Appears BALPA have done their members a great service, just like they did when the pension changes were about in 2007.
