ornithopter,
I appreciate some of the things that you said in your post, however, don't forget that the management style of the pilot community's managers and the cabin crew's are TOTALLY different.
Our management, unlike yours, are NOT renowned for their reasonable and pragmatic approach towards their staff.
In the past they have failed to deliver what they have promised-hence the high level of mistrust towards them among the cabin crew within BA at this time and towards the EG300 policy too.
Iam fully aware that alleviations can & have been used with the pilots,and we are told that each case will be dealt with on an individual basis,however I don't hold out much hope for our managment using any of these options.
Also, Please don't underestimate the strength of only "3000 odd" BASSA members striking-even this amount of people will have a very definite effect on the operation.
Let's hope it does'nt end up getting that far.
