Curtain...
And as I have to point out each year, that was all smoke and mirrors.
As part of the 'market forces' pay review, which resulted in most of us having an 18-23% pay CUT, their survey found that based B scale F/O'S (Only), were being paid BELOW market levels. Thus to retain them and attract DEFO's they had to INCREASE their salary. This was deemed unpalatable, even for them, when others were having their salaries cut, so they dreamed up the '13th month included' story in order to give them an 8% pay raise. Thus, it was only applicable to B scale F/O scales (no B scale based CNs then), a con.,and long since eroded by inflation, as others have mentioned.
Please don't perpetuate the Company's lies for them, they don't need any help!
