RD:
From your post:
"Not unless we get rid of jets, otherwise the jet jobs stay the same."
Absolutely! And since we are reducing the number of jets and increasing the number of TP's, that's exactly what's happening.
From my original post:
"If the company are changing the ratio of TP versus JETs in favour of the turboprops, I reckon many people will leave simply because they are stuck on the dash without any real prospects of getting on a jet in the forseeable future"
Hope you get my point.
From your post:
"If your pay went up, it was a pay rise. In my version of english, at any rate...!!!"
I would argue that if your salary increased at a rate lower than inflation, you would experience a pay-cut. If you want to call it a pay-rise, be my guest, but I'd say your remark is a bit naive.
Cheers.
