If the negotiations fail, the BALPA deal goes too.
Errr, no, it doesn't.

read the small print!

The reason BA crew are not posting here is that it is a lost cause dealing with such envy and jealosy from the flight crew.
Sorry, remind me, what, exactly, have I got to be jealous over? Incredulous maybe, annoyed occasionally, jealous????? Never.

Walsh has been far too generous with BA pilots, yet he is bullying a mainly female workforce.
Hmm, bullying and sexism? Where exactly does that come from? Walsh has offered ALL departments the opportunity to negotiate, some have taken it other not. Failure to do so will result in imposition. Where is the bullying in that, it's business pure and simple.

Pilots need to be paid the market rate, BA can no longer afford to subsidise their extravagant lifestyles. I think most people would agree that £70,000 is quite enough reward for a Captain.
Pilots are paid market rate. Fully benchmarked and compared to other SH/LH operators within the legacy sector, i.e. LH, Singapore, Emirates etc.

£70,000 for a Captain? Less than RYR or Easy for LH responsibility? Perhaps not, that would put a CSD on about £15,000 then.

This discussion is about the CC not pilots, well discussed and our deal stands whatever happens to yours.

Now, where was that jealousy?

Nice one though PiB, at least you had the balls to post your misguided rant.
