So here goes more of the divide and conquer technique.
Pilots joining on 01st November will be paid +23% more = approx £2000pcm more........ than faithful ,hard working professional currently online captains.
Wow , thats going to be very unpopular and will certainly divide.
Joining at a time when the 'faithful' are hoping to improve employer-employee relations and in particular terms and conditions really puts the cat among the pigeons.
So joining in Nov and dividing the faithful would then be rewarded with a possible new contract obtained by the ERC with improved terms/cond? or would they be stuck on the joining contract?
I guess it is hoped that when new joiners are seen to be earning £2k/pcm more the rest will fall into line eventually.So they will hold out and see how long that takes by taking a hard line and refusal to negotiate.
Good luck chaps , it may get messy soon.
