Jet II,
"As the flight crew have just agreed a pay increase that makes them the best paid pilots in Europe"
You obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about! The deal has not been agreed yet, and if it does go through, BA pilots will for the first time in ages be paid exactly the european *average*. The entire deal has been based around 'Benchmarking' to the european rate for the job.
If anyone thinks that makes us over paid, you're wrong. I wonder how many BA cabin crew would like to be benchmarked to their peers in other airlines?
