So we return to the message. Cabin crew will be soley responsible for the collapse of BA and the unemployment of all staff.
Round and round in circles.
Others, and not necessarily cabin crew, believe that Walsh will be repsonsible for the demise of BA. His unreasonable man gung-ho attitude, his belief in Openskies the airline, and his thrust that a permanent long term solution will be forced onto IfCE whilst every other departments will have short term solutions in place and subsequent reviews.
Alot of cabin crew I converse with are of the opinion that an immediate and temporary solution needs to found now. An agreement with a guaranteed reassessment and a return to normality at an agreed financial trigger. What is being proposed is very much viewed as an opportunistic smash and grab on permanent t&cs. I will again point out that these new terms were within the leaked 'colombus' document. A project which pre-dated the current recession. A project commenced during a time of record profits. How wonderful it must be for the leadership team that the economy has collapsed.
If BA is in a real crisis, rather than a protectionist mode, why oh why does the company still persevere with Openskies. Shelf the concept for now! Recently our Manager of Americas, stated, in defence of Openskies, it annoys Air France. How in turbulent times can a company motivate its workforce with mixed messages. We'll waste money to annoy the French, but cost cuts have to be permenantly made to our own crew.
