Um wonder how many BY Pilots have invested 130k in their careers any idea on a % of crew?
. I wonder what % of crew who have joined on new pilot terms in the last 3 years are loaded with said debt from investing in their career....
The old argument for the higher pension was early retirement that no longer applies.
The new joiner payscales created 3 years ago (when retirement age was 65) were based on 15% pension contribution and total remuneration over average career length, If the pension is being cut to 10% and then 7% ish for new joiners then new joiner pay scales need to be uplifted by the same amount to keep the career remuneration the same, you can't really expect no backslash in the company trying to reduce career earnings for new pilots, it's in effect a declaration of war on the pilots !
