Ladies & Gentlemen...
In response to your comments: My post may appear a little self-centred, but I can assure you that all I want is MARKET RATE. Same as everyone else is getting. And for a company like BA operating the aircraft and routes that we do, the market rate is being set by the Major US and European airlines, and in some cases even the smaller UK airlines.
Regardless of that, we are being progressively shafted.
I want BALPA to put that pay claim back in.
I think I speak for us all when I say that we want more respect at work and an immediate improvement in our terms and conditions. (Pay excluded)
Mike Jeffery always used to say that he was proud to have the best flight crew in the world working for him. Irrespective of whether or not that is true, if you want the best, the pay has to reflect that or they will not join. They may even leave.
I say again: we are being shafted.
