Its good to see that the majority here are taking a practical approach to the yet unproposed changes. To the minority, with quotes like 'over my dead body', Im afraid youll have no choice.

No one here wants to lose any money, and I sincerely hope that is not what happens.

Any changes BA wants are to eliminate the box payments, CATS's, destination payments and uneven allowances across similar pay grades. A practical approach to helping ourselves and BA to achieve its goals must be a priority.

This may ultimately be to our advantage. No more worry about not getting SIN,SYD,NRT,HKG,GVA,ZRH to bump up the pay. One pay structure will stop this, decrease sickness levels and stop the unseen rostering to certain peoples advantage.

BASSA have not helped but blurting out 'NO' at every chance over the last 5 yrs. BA want us to be more productive offering them savings, lets get what we can on a realistic basis.

Sitting back and saying 'No' and worrying about Pilots/Willie Walsh and everyone else will achieve precisely zero for our futures.

(or just continue being personal and unrealistic and ultimately lose out more)
