In response to Channex101, I think that you need to reconsider your position regarding monkeys and peanuts. I can honestly say that some of the 11 monthers have been some of the best crew I have flown with, they are enthusiastic and genuinely happy to be working for us, probably for a lot less than you.
I suspect that you feel threatened by these monkeys (your words), and well you should be. BASSA didn't try to stop this move by BA, a very clever move IMHO.
We all have to batton down the hatches now, we are in a hole deeper than ever before. CC costs are way over any other airline, just look at the CAA figures if you don't believe me.
Get your head out of the sand, you've had a great run but now things have to change and inevitably some will not stick around. You never know, we might actually get a whole load of new crew who are happy to be there and rejuvenate our on-board product....
