British Airways DEP Selection - THE lowdown Part 1

The new pay scales are non-negotiable

If you are part of a recognised trade union I think you will find they are negotiable under UK employment law.

Sorry - thats just plain incorrect. If they were changing the payscales of existing employees, then, yes there would be some legal implications.
They are proposing to change the payscales of future employees, who have a choice to sign, or not sign the contract. No legal issues at all.

Someone said earlier thin end, or thick end of the wedge, those are the 2 choices. people need to get real about this.
Ultimately BA need to be profitable.
To put this into context, we are arguing about 10's of millions in savings per annum. The new EU carbon tax will cost BA about 50 odd million PA, the government take over 3 BILLION in air passenger duty out of the industry.
You want to bang some heads, then choose the right people to shout at.
