Re: Willie Walsh's CC plans
Instead of making blase comments perhaps use some examples of:
a) Why it is a 'gravy train'.
and
b) Examples you have seen of how it is coming to a halt.
So far, these are what have been proposed to BASSA to look at in order to save GBP70M from in-flight services:
- Single fleet LGW
- 767 mixed flying for LHR eurofleet.
- Eurofleet adopting 'fixed links'.
- Eurofleet assisting with gate boarding.
- Disruption agreement for Eurofleet.
Non crew related:
- Reduction in product on shortes european sectors.
- Cancellation of BA bus services from crew report centre to central terminal area.
And at the very beginning of discussions:
- A limited number of ICC based crew on additional longhaul routes.
- A 'newer' new contract.
So I am sorry to disappoint, but nothing so far about slashing cabin crew pay, making them work like dogs, cleaning the a/c etc etc.
