This isn’t true at all, your conveniently missing key points to make a big damning statement, did you write the article in the Daily Mail too by any chance? It is perceived as a great offer, but its still a pay cut in real terms which is what the fight was against. However whilst the offer does...

It is perceived as a great offer, but its still a pay cut in real terms which is what the fight was against. However whilst the offer does feel good to me (im very happy with it) I believe it was also tactical to reset the playing field of relations and gives a foundation for future...

What the hell is this lot?!!… SAYING NO TO SUNDAYS Drivers can choose whether they work on Sundays and get an overtime rate if they do. The previous government wanted Sunday to be part of the working week. - Bull! I have to work sundays as part of the week, for no extra pay. BAN ON DIGITAL...

Back pay will be taxed and NI, but no pension deductions from it, that little detail is in the ASLEF email.

'Fully backdated' To me that means, imagine there was no dispute and each payrise was added within each year instead of retrospectively now, that means you do the math the long way round; the first years payrise difference is owed to you three times (22/23/24), then the second years payrise...

Nobody is suggesting anyone use such figures to make any plans or calculate taxes from ‘someone on the internet’, it’s just interesting to know how it will be calculated, the devil is in the detail and we will all find out soon enough.

Iv been wondering the same and as the detail says ‘Fully backdated’ iv worked it out ‘compounded’, ie 5% of your 2022 salary, owed for three years, then 4.75% of your ‘new and uplifted’ 2023 salary, owed to you for two years and then 4.5% of your ‘new and uplifted’ 2024 salary owed for one year...

You always book on and off at your home depot so travel time up to Leeds and back is paid, you will be on timesheets until you pass the MOD7 (final exam). The walk from Leeds station to the classroom takes about 4 minutes, and you will be doing that for around 4 months - some of which will be...

Top info here guys thanks very much.

No, alas, no medals, well just the Jubilee one which is a bit chocolate I know. I spent most of my eleven years on a test and trials sqn travelling to nicer places like USA, with the odd four-monther to the Falklands thrown in. Yeah the trip to Leeds won't be the best but its my preferred...

Hi John, I have had my last working day in the RAF and currently in my 'resettlement time' until feb. I am eligible to start work before the Northern course starts so its all good. Like I said the stars aligned for me on this one!

The stars have aligned and I have a place on a training course with Northern starting soon at the academy in Leeds, a question to anyone currently training or recently trained; what do you do for parking each day? I live a bit too far away for getting the train in each day and there would be...

The one bit of that I can help you with is the parking at Neville Hill, when you arrive theres a very small carpark on the right which you go through to go around the right hand side of the building where there is more/main parking.

Target role/career: Engineering Team Leader. Currently my CV has plenty of Engineering experience and qualifications as well as Leadership experience and qualifications, all achieved as an Aircraft Engineer in the RAF... HNC Level 4 in Engineering NVQ Level 3 in Aeronautical Engineering BTEC...

I applied too, long time ago now, and haven't even had a rejection email? Nothing...
