13 please,
In this case LGW should get the same agreement as LHR which of course will never happen because of the costs involved. We do have Destination Payment but isn't it amusing that when both DFW and IAH, ex-LGW routes, came to LHR they were all of the sudden entitled to such payment and 3 MBT instead of 2 MBT which they got down at Gatters? It's in our agreement, yes, but definitely an insult towards our collagues down there. How much money is left in this pot?
HiFlyer14,
I also think one of the mods in that forum is a BASSA rep! I'm still trying to find out whether it's the chairman itself. I have no idea how we should start voicing our opinions. It'll be a really tough battle when you think that 85% voted for a ballot. I also think the union representatives actually want to strike and are determined to do so.
A strike will hit us hard financially (crew who say otherwise are dull) and those costs need to be taken from somewhere. That's my concern.
