It is a review Betty. SMS has sent out an ESS letter to say it is a review and if the Dept responsible for rewards finds they made an error last year then they will put it right and back date it to 1st April 2011. The letter is posted in its entirity on other forums. I am ABSOLUTLY not wrong. It is a review. The union is also asking for M/F to be paid better. Those of us on existing fleets will have had a pay rise from Feb 2011 if we signed upto the individual offer; so it is only fair that M/F gets one too. Who knows there may also be a pay rise announced in the next deal put across ? On that we will have to wait. If existing fleets have or about to have a pay increase then it is only fair that M/F gets one too. Betty you are telling crew in your post that they are as you put it DEFINITLY getting a pay uplift. What happens if they dont; you will have been responsible for creating an expectation. Why not let SMS and the Reward Dept do their studies and report back and that way nobody gets false hopes or expectations ?
