I think we all need to calm down. Why so much vitriol?
We are well paid for flying turbo props, have a look at Loganair
or Eastern, we are well above their rates. We are not easyjet,
if you want easyjet salaries then do as JA did and join them!
But I would go as far as to say our culture is far better than
what you will find in the orange order.
If I can just comment on those who think we should get the
same as the directors, well that is a red herring. And don't
believe all the hogwash you hear about directors salaries/
share options.
Anyway, I digress, it is up to the Balpa members (in itself
unfair as not the full workforce), but be sure you understand
what you will be unleashing should you vote against. This
has dragged on long enough, put an end to it now and regroup
in 2 years time when the economy is on the up and a much
better deal will ensue.
I commend the motion to the house.
