Keeperboy, I note your balanced comments, but I have a few questions and comments. Do you really think a strike would happen?... and if so do CC care that it may bring the Airline either down or cripple it, either way I think the result would be for BA to draw up new contracts for all staff, not just crew which would really hurt everyone. I do see money being thrown at CC but the CAT payments for example are where CC allowances could easily be reigned in. I just wonder what a strike will achieve in the long run, but personally, I think CC will see sense, that, in general the CC are looked after better than most and the thought of a new contract - 'take it or leave it option' will focus many minds.
Just a thought....
