Guys take another look at the figures in post 34.
Flybe are mocking you, openly, blatantly and without remorse.
With those figures in mind it is NOT unreasonable to be asking for at least 10%.
I don't know if any of you have bothered to work it out but if only half of the pilot work force at Flybe are paying Balpa 1% of the average salary (about 45K) that works out at over ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS. And what, exactly, have Balpa done to deserve that? It is time to make them work for you, right now.
Guys, do not lie back and think of England this time. Flybe are in rude financial health no doubt about that. It's time to take your piece of the profit for a change, and it's about time.
