People should try not to get so emotive about this, pay negotiations are like buying a car, the company offers their best deal we say no and so on until an acceptable position is reached. That's why we should vote no, I don't think we're anything close to the companies best deal, after all the directors got a very large rise, and they've ordered these aircraft, there's clearly money in the pot. In addition we're very low paid relative to other major players, and let's face it we are a major player who is highly likely to become a mostly jet operator in the next few years.
At the end of day we have to fight for the best deal for us just as the directors will fight for the shareholders.
Ps I'm left seat.
