Skylion,
Do you get broadband on Mars or are you on one of Jupiters moons? You certainly are not on this planet!
Incremental pay rises? They are capped, so if you have been with the company more than about 7 years you don't get any more. Also each incremental band takes you into a different grade with more responsibility and also requires that you are trained up to take on more work. They are not automatic..not these days anyway.
This current dispute is more to do with introducing more responsibility and increasing workload than a pay rise, most of the engineers I talk to would, considering the financial position of the company, forego a pay rise as long as the working practices were not so brutally altered.
Other depts in the company have had a 3% pay rise without any strings attached!
Come on BA pull your finger out. I like many other employees am a shareholder and don't need another £40M knocked out of the company.
Get it sorted!!
