BA pilot strike
The proof is Balpa's action so far....NO ACTION.
If a new pension offer was on the table it would have been made public by BA and offered to BASSA since they are on the same current deal as the pilots.
BA have offered BASSA NOTHING MORE on pensions indeed they have approached BASSA for concessions on their other current terms and conditions.
Why do BA pilots think they are so special in respect to a pensions deal, as opposed to other staff and if they are, why has BALPA not said a word publicly about the their negotiations good or bad for a month.
My guess is they have been offered nothing which is a cost to BA and now are in difficulty over which action to take.... strike or accept the BA offer.
BALPA is possibly waiting to see what happens to BASSA, before they take the plunge, either way not much of the so called alliance of pilots and cabin crew that was mooted at the start of this pensions problem.
But there was never much cooperation or love lost between the 2 groups in the past, so I dont expect much this time.
