In a company that requires office bods to state how more staples would benefit IAG, the FPP scales would have been agreed/approved long in advance. The BA pay situation has been brewing for some time. The potential bmi integration merely brings it to the fore. I would imagine you would join circa pp34 point 7/8. If someone gets a copy of the new schedule A and looks to see how that fits into the paypoints on the new 34 point system, a better idea will be had.
The FPP scheme is no knight in shining armour, but look at the long term gain and it looks like a fantastic opportunity still. Not everyone applying to parc on they oaa/easy scheme will become an ezy TRI/LTC. They simply dont need that many. Yep its a huge debt to repay which ever way you enter the industry, but being in a stable company that does still value its employees, and has good Ts n Cs is a far beeter place to 'do your time'.
