Mincer,
What you fail to grasp in your ramblings is that the disparity between the BA cabin crew and all other cabin crew has been growing larger and larger every year. Many management structures have either not had the balls or the inclination to deal with it.
When the VA CC threatened a strike over T's & C's then the Bearded one quite pointedly told them if they wanted more pay for the same job then go to BA.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with cancer, the longer you ignore it the more insidious and deep rooted it becomes until it reaches a critical point where painful surgery and radical treatment is required.
In your 'lets ride out the bad times and return to the good times when it's over' just doesn't exist any more. BASSA have seen this coming over years and years and, like a petulant child have stuck their collective fingers in their ears and shouted 'na na na' until the nasty man has gone away. Constructive discussion could have had the company at a point by now where all departments were aligned in contract instead of a big sore thumb sticking up. Even the other threads on this board are saying they will work under the new T's & C's. LGW already do. It is just a minority of you can't see how well you've milked your hated 'neo liberal' machine.
Wake up and smell the coffee. WW will dispense 90 days no longer required on your old contract. Perfectly legal. If you wish to return to work then sign the new contract. It could have been so different.
Instead of your 'don't listen' approach, maybe you ought to have a look at the real world from over the parapet of your BASSA bunker. It has move on and left militants like you well, well behind.
