The 'issues' and the deal done (from BASSA):
EG300
- All BASSA had ever wanted was an acknowledgement that cabin crew have to treat their health and fitness more harshly than those working on the ground and that this fact should be reflected in EG300.
- List of illnesses written into the document and FCO's preventing cabin crew from carrying out duties. These include:
• Colds and Flu resulting in blocked ears
• Diarrhoea & Vomiting
• One-off life events (for example, surgery, broken limb, one-off injury, severe emotional trauma)
• Down-route sickness (where reported to Global Lifeline). Information from the senior Cabin Crew member will also be taken into account.
• Pregnancy related sickness
CSD 'X' (CSD on short-haul)
- BASSA belives a good time to look at this issue due to the retirement of the 757/767 fleet in the future.
- Also believes there will be a need for a ground/air based management role come T5 (Cabin crew managers will not be in T5).
Fixed Links
- Agreed to conduct a trial that only involves day two of a three day trip. ie Day 2 NCL - LHR - MAD.
- This trial will pay a STR payment
Post '97 Payscales
- Already discussed at length on here. Four extra increments, top of scale for post '97 main-crew is now £19,456. The extra four increments are not pensionable.
- this is a two year pay deal and BASSA fully intend to push for complete merge of payscales.
Single Fleet LGW Breakfast payment
- Increase of the hourly payment to £2.43. (sorry i'm not sure what the old rate was??)
Introduction of hourly rate for LHR/GLA
- Confirmed in writing from Willie Walsh and BA that this item is off the table.
Allocation of onboard working positions (preferred seler)
- BA has withdrawn this proposal
Central area bus
- Re-instated.
900 Hour per annum flying limit
- Some changes made to give individual crew the option of which trips they want to drop when approaching 900 hours.
Pensions
- as per the BA-wide proposal.
purser/main crew swap
- One purser to be removed from 747 from september 2007.
Downroute report times
- trial/survey to be conducted at JFK/TLV & BKK
