The BA offer looks like a climbdown really, no changes to agreements just reduced complements on aircraft with a reduced service.
No loss of money for current crew, full access to promotion and part time on existing fleets.
No transfer of lucrative routes and a reduced new fleet of 500 instead of 2000, probably lumbered with all the naff unpopular routes to avoid upsetting current crew.
Even a tiered transfer agreement that would take years as BASSA requested.

Seems a good deal if enough people want part time or redundancy.
All the stuff we thought would be tackled like fixed links, meal payments, long day payments, box payments, single sector days etc etc etc untouched.

I guess the problem is can you lose 2000 through voluntary means? If not that would mean compulsary.
