That was one of my highest months, my gross is no where near £48k.
My basic pay is £40k
That would mean that as your basic is £40,000, if you add the proposed fixed monthly allowance of £8000 and then all the meal allowances (assuming longhaul figures) you would end up with a huge payrise under the BA proposal!
Wage figures are always quoted gross, we all know that cc variable pay in BA is around £15-20k per year full time (long or shorthaul),
£40k + £15k = £55k.
Tiramisu, you are one of the good guys but please don't mislead us, you can't say your basic is £40k and then say you don't gross anywhere near £48k.
That implies that your annual variable is "nowhere near" £8k.
Clearly impossible.
The news figures are correct, remember they are also averages.
Confusing net with gross and hourly rates are BASSA favourites, don't fall in to the same trap.
