The safety net you describe is in the £6,500 region if I remember correctly.
I doubt that we would have triggered the payment over a three-year period.
Having not triggered the payment I believe BA would remove it.
My worry was that if we had needed that safety net many of our routes would have already been transferred to MF.
Without the safety payment the routes that generate good allowances for us would now be fast tracked over to the MF.
We would now be left with all the trips that have no premium pay attached to them, with no safety net.
I also agree with the MTP but do feel it was offered with a lot of unacceptable conditions tied in.
It could have been a starting point for negotiation, but many people had the staff travel issue on top of this to think about.
I know it is a bit cynical and I hate to be so negative, however past experience with our management leaves me in a sceptical position.
