six-sixty, you don't have to read my comments if they're winding you up. You're free to ignore.
As it is the company can afford to be more generous, you deserve more but if this offer is accepted then you are selling yourselves way too short.
I hope you're not considering a yes vote so you don't appear to be too militant. If it takes dissent and a more aggressive stance then so be it. It'll stop the company walking all over you again and again and again and again. You have the perfect opportunity to put an end to it. Don't let it pass.
So far they have squashed the threat of IA with a lesser offer than was originally asked for by Balpa. Seems to me the company are winning, still.
