''And what you forget, NO JACKETS REQUIRED, is that other departments, including the pilots, have been changing their Ts & Cs and pay for several years - unlike the cabin crew. BASSA have harumphed, foot-stomped, hissy-fitted and more for years, and now the change that should have been made long ago, in small increments, is going to be made in one fell swoop.''
Were changes not made in 1997 - long before the so called Pilots' T & C's? Please keep up. There has been a gradual errosion of pay over the last ten years, changing trip structures etc meaning many now earn £3-9k less per annum. Is that not change? Is that not the 'small increments' you were mentioning?
