A full time contract at midland is 740 hours and at ba 900 hours. Bmi pilots are being told by various people on here that they will only get tupe contracts or pay frozen until the pp34 catches up with them. However that is based on 900 hours. Tupe does not allow for the change in hours as it is a fundimental part of the contract. The bmi cc could negotiate a variation to the contract but as I stated, after crunching the numbers the 34pp would be about a 20% pay cut in hourly terms.
