I can't comment on how the new contracts and SCCM levels will integrate on the current fleets because I don't know the details.

BASSA suggests 767 fleet to be transferred to EF. Have they thought of the current situation with less bookings and that BA actually has to fill the seats to make it profitable to use a wide-body aircraft on EF routes? The 767 still requires minimum crew of 8 which would be costly if BA wouldn't be able to fill the seats. Having read their proposal over and over I still can't honestly see how it would save BA £173 million. I honestly can't and their suggestion for additional B2B, when the company is actually rostering fewer of them, is outrageous. I won't mention about the crew change on the 757 as it has already been covered.

BASSA also suggests in their proposal a new contract instead of introduction of a new fleet at LHR. BA has abolished the new fleet and now suggests a new contract but BASSA is even more upset than before over their suggestion. You can't have your cake and eat it!
