It could be a pay rise!

Firstly I am a pilot so treat accordingly...

As we stand BA are imposing a pay freeze, fewer crew on our aircraft and will introduce New Fleet. They have offered a fixed payment to replace your box b2b payments etc. We all know that the prize routes & therefore payments often go to the same people so a fixed sum would mean the that everyone gets an equal bite of the cherry.

BA have also said that the costs of IA will be recovered from the group who incurred it. Avoiding discussion of whose fault it is BA will of course take this money from crew. Given the huge costs of IA that can only be disastrous to your pay. With BMI making large numbers of crew redundant, unknown numbers of temps waiting in the wings & more in the holding pool i suggest now is not the time for your battle. Keep what you have & save the battle for when BA have an alternative. Too many of you are my friends to let bassa destroy your careers.
