Wrong, I work for Ryanair UK and head office is Stanstead. Holiday pay at FR has always been basic pay, pluss holiday pay, so court ruling won't bother them.
Sorry didnt read the article an neither did you...
BALPA has successfully argued that, under these regulations, the definition of holiday pay should not be restricted to basic salary only, particularly because pilots' and cabin crews' actual pay is based heavily on an hourly flying pay rate.
In other words BA has to base the Holiday pay calculation on the amount earned including all the variables... and guess what.. That certain English (?) Irish outfit you work for bases their calculations on... basic pay... Correct me if I am wrong
