NR,
The case was a test case which clarified a point in law in accordance with the European Working regulations that variable pay can be considered a part of the pay realistically expected by an employee pilot even when on statutory holiday breaks.
As such the BACC took it forward in 2006 under each individual pilots names as personal claims against BA. The case has taken this long due to the constant counter appeals by BA and the difficulty in establishing what does and doesn't consist of variable pay. It now sets a precedence for ALL companies who didn't see variable pay as part of holiday pay to include a fair portion of variable pay into statutory holiday pay. Hence ALL company councils and individuals can now pursue their employers to pay this. This includes Cabin Crew and any recipient of variable pay.
All told a pretty good result for everyone irrespective of company as the door is now open for your claims as well.
