don't care about the pilots deal because it is all about that really isn't it. If we accept you get your cushy number.
Just to clear this up. If the cost cuts in all depts. are met the pilots get their pay cut enforced, that is not cushy.
Also the shares are awarded to a value, the share price is of no consequence ie. if the share price is £1, then assuming maximum award (unlikely) 13 mill shares are awarded. If the share price was £1000 then 13,000 shares are awarded.
Any talk of pilots talking up a deal to improve the share price is rubbish and shows complete ignorance of the deal.
