Here is the proposal!
PAY
BASSA - proposed a deal mirroring the pilot’s deal exactly with a 2.61% reduction in incremental pay. With an equivalent agreed share scheme to reward crew for this contribution in 2011 and 2012
BA - now wants no increase in basic pay or variable pay for Cabin Crew for the next two years or incremental increases for one year. This is a permanent reduction.
Cabin crew have not been offered the “payback” inline with the pilots and mangement who will potentially receive up to 13 million pounds per year in the form of a share bonus divided between Captains and First Officers.
There will be a freeze in incremental pay rises with effect from 1 January 2010 until December 2010 for those earning a basic salary of 14,500 pounds per year or more (or the equivalent pro-rata salary for part-time Cabin Crew)
A fixed element of pay will be introduced, to be paid as a non-pensionable monthly payment, replacing all variable allowances.
The payment will be subject to a deduction calculated on a daily basis for all non-flying related duties ie courses and sickness etc.
The additional payment will replace the following.
WORLDWIDE
Long range payments
Back to back PAYMENTS
Destination payments
ETP
Time away allowance
Telephone allowance
EURO FLEET
Long day payment
ETP
Early report
Telephone allowance
Down route rest
Worldwide rest down route will no longer be entitled to 2 local nights rest on any non-long range or long-range routes. Currently this would affect
SFO, LAX, JNB, CPT, PEK, MEX, GRU, HKG, SIN, BKK, PHX, NRT, MRU, PVG, GIG,
BLR, MAA
Reduced crewing complement
2 crewmembers would be removed from: BOM, DEL, DEN, MIA, MAA, HYD, MRU, YYC, MRU 777, PVG 777, GIG 777, SIN 777, HKG 777
One crew member - a purser- would be removed from ALL other routes and aircraft types and configurations 747,777, 767.
Additionally in the future, all future/on the day crew compliments can be altered at British Airways’s sole discretion as they see fit.
There will be no “one down” payments.
Aircraft can leave base or down route with any crewing level that is legally compliant at the time. For example on a 747 this is currently 11.
Operational Flexibility for ALL fleets - ROSTERS, TRIPS, DAYS OFF
In the future all rosters, trips and days off may be altered at British Airways sole discretion, when ever the operation requires it.
Promotion and new contract crew
All future promotion will only be to the “new contract” supervisor, there will not be pursers or CSD.
New crew and all future promotions will have to sign a new contract which, will include
New rates of pay, no increments
New scheme based flying this will NOT be to current agreements
Hourly rate
Performance related pay.
For main crew this will be around £11000 plus hourly rate and performance related pay giving a total of around £19000. Supervisor will be £22000 plus hourly pay plus performance related pay giving a total of around £29000 . Performance related pay would be linked to GPM scores, punctuality, sickness, profit margin etc.
There will be NO incremental salary increases.
How this will affect you on EF
Days off
BA are going to reduce your days off by one per month, which means they’d cram in another Moscow, Athens or Tripoli.
Crew compliments
Reduced as follows!
A319 will have starting ratio of 3 crew on ALL bands!
A320 now operating most flights with a maximum of ONLY 4 crew!
A321 with over 50 club, will only have 5 crew!
They do NOT expect any reduction in on-board service!
Single supervisor
One single SCCM only on ALL flights (no further promotion to PSR/CSD).
18hours off downroute
In disruption, you CANNOT have 18 hours off down route, not matter hard you’ve worked!
Monthly duty payment
A flat monthly duty payment will replace LDP, ETP, ERP and telephone.
So those crew that operate the long duties will lose money.
Transfers from EF, WW and SFG.
There will be NO further plans for any transfers after this current list. The only way to move will be to apply for a new contract on a different fleet. To be clear there will be no more ability to move to any other fleet on current terms and conditions.
