HZ123 You go right ahead and ignore the BA Coup. Interestingly enough the F/C Community has seen this coming for a long long time. Still not happy with us withdrawing from court proceedings re open skies but the fight will have to happen at another time.

With oil going to push 200 dollars a barrel (admittedly it's speculation driving the prices), and BA not able to find any dance partner to share costs with, they will become increasingly desperate/determined to drive cost out of the business.

I predicted this very thing for cabin crew a while ago with the help of OS but not by it's own seperate agency in the UK. Schedule K helps us a little bit as pilots but by now I believe that no agreement is fool proof anymore.
Expect to be shafted and assume the worst.
This is market economics catching up with you......
