Don't get the peeps at BALPA too excited - the 1% is based on salary, not allowances, so they won't see a penny. Unless they change the rules and decide that "total pay - including allowances - must be used in the calculation" of subs too.
The tax man will be getting excited though - difficult to justify a tax free element within duty pay to cover costs away from home on employers business when you're actually not on duty, just away from home sipping pina coladas by the pool on your own business!
Still, good luck to the boys and girls, hope you get it, we could all do with a pay rise, by whatever means it comes
