Welcome to the real world boys and girls. I think the thumbscrews will be coming out and it will be a time for 'put up or ship out'.
16 Hulls grounded and a vastly over inflated wage bill are going to run through negotiations like a steamroller. ALL other departments realise the financial threat to the company. Even more so after WW announcement TO THE CITY this morning, not the board, not through the unions but directly, on BBC News, to the world.
So, pull your heads out of the sand. Look at the stark reality and realise that if reform doesn't go through then you will have notice given on contracts. The rest of the company will not support a petulant BASSA fight, even less so given the current circumstances.
Now is the time to ensure that BA survives the coming financial year. If it doesn't then you will be staring at a corporate, hostile take over that will re-write your cushy contract into something akin to Ryan Air.
At least this way you have a little choice. Once through this then we can all, at least, attempt to regain some ground. Slim pickings I know but at least we will still be standing.
