This is not strictly true. Agreement has to be ratified still. As has been said already, pilots are negotiating separately through IALPA and, by the looks of it, are in no where near the same space as colleagues in the UK. A very different approach it would appear, and potentially a very different (and far more positive) outcome. I agree, BA aren’t the only airline within the group taking pain, but they are most definitely taking the lions share.
I wish you all well, these are nasty times. Sad to see those at the top of the organisation show their true colours.
Keep fighting, keep the unity and keep the faith. I look forward to hearing you all over the airwaves again soon.
