The count asks why should a BA 744 pilot earn more than a VS 744 pilot? Thats life. There is a vast difference from top to bottom pay scales throughout the world airline industry.
However, The VS crew force obviously have missed out since 2008 but at the end of the day a strike benefits nobody, neither the employees or the company. Who wants to be left with just BA long haul for christ sake.
I hope Beardie and BALPA sit down and work out a compromise real soon before things go tits up and the damage can't be reversed
