Pay rising again by the looks of it. A friend just notified me that a 2018 4% pay increase is out for a BALPA ballot next week with an offer of a RPI plus increase for 2019. It also looks like the Virgin BALPA constitution is changing for the better and the Union is getting back on track with the replacement of the old guard with new reps coming forward. Good to see the Union making progress in VAA. A new Company Council, fresh ideas and strong Union leadership. 2018 looks like being a promising year in VAA.
