Perhaps NSF you have low expectations - 3.5% in real terms over two years is mediocre, would you not agree?

Regarding low expectations, I am not sure what planet you are on - maybe you are a wannabe in some fantasy airline. In the real world this is a fantastic deal. Even Virgin did not get the same basic rise as we did. Like I said,easyJet“s percentage gain is one of the best deals anywhere in the UK industrial scene this year. Regarding Cargo Boy“s very helpful figures, the guys at Virgin are doing great - well done to them. Their terms and conditions represent an aiming point for us all and I unreservedly rejoice in all they have achieved. Nonetheless, their basic rise was 2.5% which gives some perspective to ours. We are in the low cost sector facing massive competition on all fronts and still we got a good deal. There is a lot more water to go under the bridge at easyJet and there will always be the ex-Danair annt-union whiners who will hate BALPA until their dying day. For the rest of us, we should rejoice at our initial successes without losing sight of the greater prizes out there still to be won.

If refer to Krauts question to me on the previous page:
RPI up to 3.6%
Sorry but it had to be said.
How do you predict 3,5% RPI? Is that an official number or "selfmade"?
Sorry, a little OFF Topic, but had to be said!
