Apologies Jet II for getting personal. I’ve just become a little wound up by all this self congratulation over the pay deal – especially from the negotiators themselves.
Perhaps we do now have some of the best paid short-haul Captains in Europe – and no wonder the negotiator was crowing about the fact, if he’s just got his command.
My frustrations come from the fact that some of the workforce have seen considerable benefit from this deal, whilst others have not, but it is sadly those same people who didn’t feel the need to protect our “scope and status” for the future. I’d have happily seen no pay rise (above rpi), but sorted out the can of worms.
Apologies again.
