Worked thirtysome years ago

May have well done, but we are where we are, so to move would take a lot of time and effort and a lot of unhappy campers. The money for large payrises isn't there so it would have to be paycuts. I like many others wouldn't be happy about that.

Well at least we dont have to worry that we're going to end up getting pay cuts or going into work to be told we are being laid off. Another of my friends hubby has had that this week. He has a motgage to pay for, my friend and their 2 kids!! Dont envy being in their position just now!!
 
one more week and we will find out finally whether or not the pay increase is happening and for which ranks if any at all. either way it will put an end to all of this speculation.:PDT_Xtremez_25: WE HOPE
 
We should find out tomorrow, if anyone does hear put something on here as some of us wont hear other than on here......I still think its going to be bad news,I hope not but it seems to of dragged on......

Shouldn't it be on the AIRSPACE LogWeb page? Fancy me thinking that the great white hope for communications would be the route to push this information out! If they do make a decision at tomorrow's board i'm sure it will not be announced until next week - nothing moves fast if money is involved!

Had a look at that LogWeb page. After I'd finished e-mailing all the spelling & grammar corrections to the webmaster I felt a little jaded, so I 'logged' off. Shame really!
 
C'mon then does anyone know if we're minted or not yet?????

Stax/Norman/Gillo thought you lot would have been all over it by now!!! I'll be disappointed if I actually have to find this out via the proper channels at work!!
 
It does seem strange how every other trade get told in good time, some within days actually – but Supply, oh no, we have to drag on for months and months!
I am pretty sure the decision has to be in by the 10th Oct 09, if there is an increase for anyone, for it to take effect in April 2010.

I think that the statement below could well be correct – The silence really could be speaking volumes!!

Anyway, just a thought…
 
I thought we would hear by 30.09.09 on this. My families holiday for next year is riding on this. I could be looking at smiling happy faces or tears by the end of the day. Personally I don't care (the kids might), I just want to know one way or the other.

:S
 
I think too many people are building their hopes up, we all know what the Air Force is like.

I can see the Suppliers getting didily squat. If we get a pay rise I'll eat my hat.
 
What a bunch of cr&p, why can't we have a quick straight answer, it seems to me that maybe we have scored enough and the team has said yes, however some poloitician out there is worring about paying us, thats why it has gone this long?

Hey, we'll know when we know. I hope we do get it, the trade is not what it used to be.

Learn to spell, you're a disgrace to the trade.

Why don't you give the Trade Sponsor a ring and find out about the pay rise rather than moaning about it. While your on the phone ask them to explain to you how the process works, then you won't have to post any more dross as you will understand it isn't something that can be implemented overnight as it carries such a financial burden.

Did you actually re-read your post after you wrote it??? Try now.. half of it makes no sense.

Anyway anyone know yet???? :PDT_Xtremez_42:

Pot calling kettle. Come in kettle.

Why don't you ring?
 
Never mind all this slagging one another off, the point is as the Wobblies were briefed at their conference the other week that an announcement would be made on the 30 Sep 09. This came from the Trade Sponsor, so again we have been let down by someone who is supposedly working and looking after our interests. You are not telling me that she doesn't read this forum because if I was TS I certainly would. SO WTF IS HAPPENING.:PDT_Xtremez_25: It is really annoying that in this day and age we are having to rely on this type of media to find things out
