Newbagirl,
I've never said I wanted LHR crew to earn as little as other bases. I didn't involve my own base for that reason. Our pay structure is not the topic of this thread.
All I wanted, was for crew to consider other options, instead of saying "no, we're not doing that - we're going on strike", before any facts are known.
What we have to remember in this whole saga, is that the "leaked" document was a draft. Not a proposal, not a final offer. It's nowhere near the negotiating table yet, and it won't necessarily be as bad as people think when it does. We do though, as much as we don't want to, realise that things have to change. As an example, Singapore Airlines has announced that they're cutting over 200 flights between now and March. It's a scary, uncertain future and we need to try to protect our jobs to be able to pay our mortgages/rent and bills.
