If BA amend their offer, it’ll be a win for BALPA. It’ll have to be a meaningful gain on the current pay offer though.
Put simply:- BA are on the back foot here and boxed in.
I wish my union had this current union Exec Council reps.
Anyone that can see this as anything but a complete compitulation by the union is in a dream world. You have been hung out to dry!!
6 months down the line BA will offer the same 11.5% and a reinstatement of benefits and the union will accept and say they won.
