It's not "likely". It's fact.
The current offer is not worse however with the extension to 4 years and only a 2% raise and 1% of that covered by the loss of the early raise you could argue that it is worse for the pilots. I would certainly take 1% less in pay for a 3 year deal. It's going to take at least 2% more in pay and retaining pensionability on the PS to convince me it's better.
