for the comments re my previous post:-
at the time of writing it was proposed we have less leave. in black and white, however this has subsequently changed to the original deal. so flaps 1. It was true at the time of writing.
regarding the new captains deal, you can manipulate the words in whichever way you want, but the cold hard facts are that for the first six months, 10% pay cut on normal captains salary is exactly what it is, this equates to 5% over a 12 month period or 2.5% over 2 years, ie a pay freeze on inflation. Use whatever words you want, the facts however do not change.
Senior First Officers have been well and truly shafted, the pay rise once you take out the £1100.00 that we have to pay for our own food, and £1900.00 reduction in sector pay means the pay rise is a couple of hundred quid. Then when we finally get a command once all the go guys have been sorted out, we get further shafted.
