- Our rubbish (in comparison to other UK airlines) travel concessions
Travel concessions do not form part of any contract negotiations within BA and never will do as the company will refuse to negotiate on them - ever. They are concessions that do not form part of the contract, and BA would rather remove them than negotiate them.

Your other proposals are all increasing in cost rather than cost neutral or negative - without that factor then good luck, but it won't happen.

Furthermore your contract is a civil contract so you have to sue them - they would not be breaking the law to breach the contract. They would simply be breaching the contract, unless it related to legal regulations or enshrined employment law.

BA may be profitable but it is precariously so due to its protected position at Heathrow - as restricted competition routes diminish, competition will rise and eat into profits. Any gains from the union will have to be matched with far more in productivity rises - you only have to ask other employee groups what they think of CC productivity.

Well, I just dont think its wise to speak about wages on a forum which ANYONE can look into. Crew always been seen as overpaid and underworked !
Without being the devil's advocate (how ironic), is that not an admission of the latter statement?
