Quote from brit bus driver, thanks.

"2.61% pay cut imminent once the rest of the company achieves its cost savings, plus a £2 an hour reduction in 'flying pay' (£11 becomes £9). Fortunately, annual increments (c.5%) remain in place"

So a 2.61% pay cut at some point, then a pay rise of 5% at some point during the next one year and then at least 5% every year upto a total of 24 years I'm told, BALPA worth every penny.
