One crewmember who says that's what they wanted to do, and didn't feel the need for 2 nights is being lectured that if they don't take those 2 nights in every case, then BA will start planning LAs, SFOs, JNBs etc with only one night stop!

That's why the pilots, who have very similar industrial agreements take min rest then fly. And without the fear that the company would use such exceptional circumstances as a precedent to impose changes on our agreement. We still have 2 nights in LA and SFO!
Classic, well the cabin crew certainly live in fear. Reducing the above routes to nightstops has been visited upon us before by a certain Martin Bridger in 1997 and Columbus will do the same.

I don't trust BA one iota. Without trust, clarity and honesty there is no buy-in. Without a buy-in employees become disengaged and lack motivation and morale. In these circumstances change is almost impossible to achieve.
BA need to urgently address these issues and they could start by removing the barely disguised contempt in which cabin crew are held.
