Mr Coppid, it is indeed a thread about BA CC and what they will contribute to the savings demanded by the current economic crisis/BA's CEO.
A BA CC thread on which a number of people, who according to their profiles are pilots, choose to participate vigorously.
If and when these participating pilots choose to use the pilot group's concessions as an example or as an argument for CC to concede likewise, it is perhaps understandable that the subject gets discussed?
I agree it would be better if it weren't, but as long as pilots participate here and use these arguments, I fear such discussion is inevitable.
flapsforty,
I don't disagree. The trouble is that it is becoming increasingly apparent that many of our cabin crew colleagues, through no fault of their own, are blundering into something which their own union hasn't given them full knowledge of and look likely to fatally wound our company in the process.
Appreciably, our company could undoubtedly have done a better job with it's own communications and given the "previous" between BA and BASSA, it's unsurprising they've been largely ignored recently.
Keep in mind that PPrune is probably the only independent avenue where this information can be passed (relatively) freely. Our well-known grievances are not and never have been with the cabin crew, they are with BASSA. Yes, the two are linked but not inextricably.
As you rightly say:
...it is indeed a thread about BA CC and what they will contribute to the savings demanded by the current economic crisis/BA's CEO.
Unfortunately, the answer appears to be
zero. At best, this will result in BA imposing new terms and conditions on them. At worst, World War Three begins and it's "sayonara", which is why a few of us are making so much of a fuss. I beg your indulgence to attempt to protect 40000 jobs.
