Dosnt matter if BASSA want a strike or not, its not their choice... its ours! we vote if we wanna walk out
Personally I will give a lot back to the company, ANYTHING... with the exception of new fleet. as ive said before, when the company was raking in 900 million a year our wage wasnt an issue then, now it is.
So why should i slash my wage to almost half of what is it now, to see the company in 5years time raking it in again, except this time i can bearly survive, who will be in a "fight for survival" then? when BA is creaming it in, willie has long gone to rip his next airline to shreds, collected his bonus and we as crew are almost on the breadline.
BA wanted to attract some of the best crew in the insutry (and before we start a debate here, we do have high levels of customer service, but there are of course a few bad apples that spoil it for the rest of us)
so they need to offer a decent wage, same goes for pilots! otherwise what
is the attraction, if they pay virgin wages, i would have choose to go to virgin in the first place!! (no offence to anyone at virgin... )
Its also good to see flight crew on here who do actually support crew, ive never worked for an airline that has such a big crew/flight crew devide.
I like many others am very junior at BA, and im now worried that no matter what i do, i could be jobless anyway.... i have put my name down for unpaid leave and part time to help the company out, but i fear this may not be enough, even if i signed up for new fleet i think i could be gone by xmas! so in my eyes, if im halfway out the door, i might as well go on strike anyway.... what have i to loose now?
