Relativities
He talks of the "relativities" between pilots pay and that of other employees and I agree that that should be maintained, it is disingenuous to claim that it is distorted by our incremental pay scale. There are only two or three points on our scale which should considered, the most junior SO pay, maybe the DEFO point, and the most Senior Captain. If their pay is to remain static relative to other employees then they should obviously get the same pay rise. The rest of us should fit in somewhere on a sliding scale between, at present that is done using an annual incremental scale. If they dislike this so much then it can easily be called something else aided by some nonsensical management jargon thrown in for good measure.
