Mini mums,

You know exactly what I am talking about when I say compare like with like - If I said that Flight crew were overpaid because some of them earn 150K you would say that is an unfair comment as the ones on that sort of money are on old, now discontinued contracts.

As for the pay deal - every pilot at BA I have talked too seem to think that overall its a good deal in the present circumstances. To say that over 90% of crew voted for something that they thought wasn't very good stretches the point.

I do not know your exact circumstances and you obviously have a particular problem with the deal - as you mention scope, I assume you are ex City Flyer?

As to the comment about BA flight crew now "Being the best paid pilots in Europe" - that was a comment by one of your negotiators to a reporter on the local paper.

I say again, I am sorry that you didn't get as much as you wanted, but I fear that you are in a minority.

And please try to keep personal abuse out of a reasonabley civilised thread.
