Er... Paterbrat? My comments were in response to your own admission,
"... I have had a small internal airline an international carrier and an exec flight department go t*ts up while I was working for them...."
Can't think why but maybe there is a pattern here.
Back to the thread.
The FEs have a ligit claim because BA has internal agreements that they disregard if they can get away with it. It happened at MAN, BHX, BFS, LGW and now at LHR.
The reason many staff feel or at least felt comfortable at BA is because they new that even though the bottom line salary was/is below market rate, they were protected in the event of disaster. The company are now tearing up agreements and yes many are leaving for better wages elsewhere. But many such as the FEs are trapped with no where to go. How many engineers do you know that could hold down the job of steward? I couldn't, the first bit of lip off a pax and I would be in court the next day!
Good luck to all, by my experience you will need it!
