Unless BALPA (i.e, the Reps grow some balls and start thinking strategically and not tactically), the T&C's in BA are going to go downhill rapidly. This new Work Coverage agreement looks terrible on the face of it. Maybe BALPA have pulled a blinder and the agreement has some unforeseen effects. Sadly, judging by our recent agreements, I think our reps have fallen into the trap of thinking they are running the company and doing the mgmts' jobs for them. No wonder LCG can afford a new Bentley and walks around with a permanent grin on his face.
