The proposed deal, which includes a modest 2.5% pay rise rising to 4%, has been dubbed “kamikaze” by pilot representatives due to clauses that many say undermine overall compensation and job security. Key elements of the proposal have raised alarm among BA pilots, especially the introduction of bonuses tied to carrying less fuel—a change that some fear could compromise safety.
