What does it matter about scope clauses if the Fokker guys remain on BMI terms? Yes things have got better, partly due to the council but don't forget JRB did alot before he left. BALPA won't be the answer to all our problems but they may help our cause.
Its all very well saying we get crew food but wait till you get online in Hamburg. Its a rarity not the norm.
The transfer agreement also is not without its problems. Many questions are unanswered, long after the interviews. 146 crews have 14 months left and they don't have a clue what they will actually be offered. Time is short and they are being told to sit and wait whilst the economy is faltering. They have to look after themselves and their families, they can't wait until 2002 to be told you've got a 145 job as long as you move to EDI, LBA or ABZ! Their best advice is to get the best they can for themselves be BMC,BMI or anywhere.
Please don't rub your hands and say what a wonderful job the council have done when so many people have so much uncertainty over their heads. Your job has only just begun!
