Grief above,
BASSA lie 1 : There is no tragic economic downturn that requires these savings.
BASSA lie 2: The Flight Deck Crew are an evil army of people created by WW to hate and destroy CC.
I could go on forever but the inaccuracies BASSA come out with are never ending.
I have some very good friends employed as CC at BA, and I don't wish to see them lose financially but this attitude of bringing down the company rather than compromising on an out dated pay and work structure is lunacy.
Many BA Cabin Crew are highly educated, but many are not (despite being very very good at what they do) but in the current climate it won't matter a jot as companies are not recruiting at the moment - may I suggest you would be wiser trying to save the jobs you do have by offering to work as efficiently as possible and taking some tactical cuts, and then, if it is unbearable when things pick up, do as I and many before have done, leave your cabin bag behind and go out and find a new job that you enjoy that pays to a level you need/want.
