Disappointed.
I like your post, you sound very reasonable.
It's also nice for someone from LHR to finally admit that you guys may have dropped the ball at LGW.
Your also correct that two wrongs don't make a right.
I absolutley argree.
Which is why it would be wrong of LHR not to stand by us when our T&C's are being erroded away RIGHT NOW (not just planned to happen like LHR).
You do mention that BA will not stop where it has with SFLGW. TOO RIGHT, they're trying to take our breakfast allowance as we type!
We need your support so we can keep it.
SFLGW is the benchmark BA is trying to get LHR to. If you let it get dragged down even further (it can't go much further!) then LHR will get dragged down even further.
Support SFLGW and we will support LHR.
I urge all LHR crew to speak to their reps to not let the bar slip any lower at SFLGW.
The worst of the damage has always been done. If you let it get worse you only make it worse on yourselves.
The other bone of contention I have is NSP entry.
Now I can see the reason that LHR crew would be pissed off with the removal of the UD PSR. The fact that it slows down promotion and transfer I can see is a big motivaor not to get rid of it, especially if promotion to PSR is up to 15 years on WW.
This is also the reason that EOG/EFLGW was not allowed into the NSP earlier as well.
If you look back a page or so you'll find a post from Yellowdog concerning an announcement concerning SFLGW entry into th NSP, which I had on very good authority was due at least last week.
Now of course the result of this would in theory have a similar effect to the removal of the UD PSR eventually down the line.
What really concerns me is....no announcement has happened.
If it's the LHR unions putting a spanner in the works AGAIN for WHATEVER REASON, LHR will be thin ice asking for SFLGW crew support in this fight.
Guess we'll see....
Let's hope it isn't the case for ALL BA crew sakes.
