I apologize, you're correct! I should not have made that comparison.
I have no idea if this is about power, I can only read what is posted here and I draw my own conclusions, BASSA may not win but then BA may not win either - the British Public will be the losers as they will have to support 35,000 people through benefits, while they desperately look for other jobs. All this talk of fighting for terms and conditions while brave is not realistic, companies all over the world are changing their working practices to adjust to this crisis. The people who still have a job are lucky - millions would love the opportunity to keep their job - even it meant working a little harder for a little less. The alternative is much worse!!
I have to say if I was another airline then I would probably be reluctant to employ a BA crew member. If BA goes under due to industrial action, or the threat of this by Flight Attendants then i cannot see any sympathy coming from the public. The Flight Attendants may all be viewed the same, rightly or wrongly as militant employees who are not prepared to compromise!! Seriously what manager would want to invite that type of person into their organization.
However, that said I love BA and most of the crew and really hope you can pull through this - but common sense needs to prevail - this is real, it's not a conspiracy - General Motors is a good example of the crisis, their terms and conditions will need to be changed and thousands will be furloughed.
