They NEED the VR and PT to get their new fleet – but they are trying to convince everyone that they are doing crew a favour! I believe that if everyone sits tight and does not take up the VR and PT, they will then be backed into a corner.


Call their bluff ....or am I seeing it too simplistically??
Yes. The company is shrinking, 1500ish cabin crew are deemed to be in surplus. BA have served the 90 day consultation papers, to cover VR and CR for up to 2000 heads, if BA don't get the 2000 head count reduction on their terms, then they will simply use CR, so as you say sit tight, and it could be you being made redundant.
