The scheduling 'improvements' that it seems are going to form part of our pay deal are most likely going to be things that we have been promised for years. They shouldn't be used in conjunction with the pay offer to soften the blow of the likely poor payrise they want to give us.
The scheduling agreement has fundamental flaws that the company know about and keep saying they will change, but only at the cost of something else.
I for one will be turning down any offer where the payrise is below 6%. And i would only accept a payrise that low with significant improvements in the scheduling.
I'm sure JM is loving his salary, bet he doesn't work 11 hour shifts on weekends or bank holidays and have to sit on freezing aircraft because the APU has 120 day ADD and its -10 outside. Things that we 'lived' with before, are now all coming to light for what they are and the company are digging their hole deeper and deeper the longer it takes to resolve.
Now wheres that picket line.....
