The vast majority of the workforce do feel undermined, that is certainly the feeling I am getting, and the feeling I am getting from my base is that the workforce is standing united this time. Only time will deliver the verdict on that one though.
If I remember rightly the figure BALPA asked for is 6.1% for TP guys, and 5.1% for the jet guys plus some other "improvements".
One of the biggest things for me is the "lates to earlies" issue. More money is nice but if they just sorted out the lates to earlies that would be a big improvement in lifestyle. Also if they viewed FTLs as a limit rather than a target that would be nice too but hey.
If BALPA fail to deliver this time then I am cancelling my ridiculously overpriced subscription for good, as will alot of others.
