If BA were actually after your T+C then you would have my unqualified support but they're not (at the moment) Nowhere in this or the other thread has anyone given a sensible, unemotional reason why the 12 items are worth bringing the company to a standstill for. What happens when they actually go for something significant? like the hourly rate or short haul scheduling do you think the crew will have the stomach for another strike?
I presume you wont be accepting the 6m BALPA negotiated for you in the pension settlement either?
Perhaps you could be more specific on these ridiculous cost cutting issues that BA are targetting you with. Can you justify the MAN base? 5 supervisory crew out of 15?
The fact is despite your union inspired petty sniping at the flight crew there arent actually many savings to be made with us, we work maximum hours with no silly scheduling agreements at a competitive salary by worldwide standards. Fortunately rather than always saying no our union chose to engage the company producing savings for the company and lifestyle improvements for us.
As for the 96% yes vote well what did you expect? Noone knows what they voted yes to and certainly have no idea what they'll go back to work fot but who cares, we got the vote.
