its sad also that our flight crew not all of them but a few seem to be getting on the band wagon and telling crew they should accpet things etc, this has also been brought up now as its getting more and more common with flt crew harrasing crew over this.

No one has been 'harassing' anyone over this. Constructive discussion can often seem 'harassing' when one has few or no relevant points to bring to said discussion. As to jumping on the band wagon? Well sorry but the 'BASSA' style bandwagon was the one that the flight crew got off a fair few years ago when they were benchmarked for pay and conditions and many, many pilots took a cut to support those on the bottom who avoided redundancy. The re-negotiated terms and conditions are there for all to see and, apart from offering the company a fixed accountable value for hours flown, they are working well and allow the spreading of trips thus experience without the 'honey pot' trips being grabbed by the biggest gorilla in the tree.
Once the transitional pain has been achieved and the company survives the current downturn THEN the re-negotiation can start with 'well, we gave you this when the times were tough, now it's your turn.'. Not ideal by any stretch but better than the current 'we would rather bring the company down and loose every ones jobs to get WW'. Who, I am sure, is probably visibly shaking at the BASSA vote of no confidence from the 1500 out of 16000 that could be bothered to turn up.
Good luck, I pity our passengers and don't look forward to another round of 'traveller misery' headlines which will damage our cause no end.
