I love all this stuff about just putting up with cuts, blah , blah, savings have to be made- take some cuts and then if you don't like it - hang up your cabin bag!!! LOL
This sort of stuff is a joke.
Thirty years of Thatcherite brainwashing- just because the cabin crew want to maintain a standard of living which is well below that of pilots by the way, they have to be insulted and told that the cuts are necessary.
What a load of neo-liberal claptrap.
Bosses exist to make profit for shareholders. That's all. They are the enemy. If possible, they would have us fly for £1 an hour.
But this is not about cabin crew- it's about protecting the rights of everyone to a decent living. That means ALL workers.
If BA promised to pay such and such, you might well have gone out and got a mortgage or paid for school fees etc whatever. Now they turn round and say- oh, we are going to take that away from you, after all the profit you have made for bosses over the years.
This is a DIRECT ATTACK on YOUR life cc - don't forget that for one second.
QUESTION: IF BA made such a huge profit a couple of years ago- why won't they do the same when the recession ends? Will the Ts&Cs then be restored? No. Of course not. What a surprise.....
You must fight all the way this time- this is the end game.
