Well, if our bean counters are that anal about their neat spreadsheets then that explains part of the reason as to the poor performance over the last ten years. Re pilot wages as a variable, how do they account for fuel price fluctuations. I call BS on the last few threads. Sign off the EBA so that we are unable to take PI A is my call.
I agree with your sentiments. I'm just the messenger passing on comments made by those in a position to know the truth.
I personally believe as you do. Either the aircraft have already been ordered. Or the matter will be put to the board in August and pilot rate of pay is irrelevant.
Either way we're not being told so as to keep some advantage for the EA negotiations.
