Interesting that one of our 'poor' customers (BA) are reportedly offering their pilots a 5.9% 2 year pay deal...
Management stressed that NSL could not afford an RPI deal in light of the commercial challenges they faced on contracts and the resulting impact this could have on jobs.
Although NERL and NSL are 2 entities, are NATS not still 'one company'? If not, where do the Corporate staff sit with regards to a pay deal that encompases everyone or are they, for the purposes of this, conveniently attached to the profitable NERL?
That statement is nicely worded to engender division of the workforce. It implies that NERL can afford a larger payrise, but that NSL performance is effectively capping everyones award
. A nice attempt at creating resentment and division.
