Tony, I'm with you 100%. Working for BACE, I never expected a mainline rate, but neither did I expect to be so thoroughly over by the BA management (if indeed that is not a contradiction in terms, ie BA and management in the same sentence!!). Management personnel up by nigh on 100%, adjustment to BA management salaries, the most pathetic inability to make any decisions without meetings x twenty, and then just to close us down in four of our bases!!!!!!!
In the meantime, refusal to work with BALPA, and effective cancellation of this years pay rise, a freeze on increments, AND A MORE RESTRICTIVE LEAVE POLICY.
411A is well aware that pilot salary is only about 5% of total costs. He continually cites his one example of the Delta guy - I look forward to this next twelve months and BALPA taking some action. If they don't (and I voted for JF too) I shall be awarding myself an extra 1% payrise - in fact I shall probably do that if JF DOESN'T win!!!!!
