wow,that is a dramatic cut in lifestyle and pay .In th west we are having a race to the bottom in terms of lifestyle and quality of life .The economy is in such an awful state that BA may as well impose these conditions come what may,as the company has nothing to lose as it may just fail regardless .Guys ,we are in deep doo doo ,pilots are no way exempt and it is petty and irrelivant to compare ourselves with them. I personally would rather suffer the pay cut but the single nightstop longrange would ruin the very thing i joined for (apart from sreving our customers,naturally!!).
Nightstop GIG anyone? really exciting .
My only hope is that this is bravado and behind the scenes a better offer will be made and we will all roll over and accept.
BA is not going to be a happy place to work in for a while,life is short,i'm not sure if ill stick around for ever at this rate .
The brutal reality is that there are thousands of perfectly capable who would step straight into uor shoes ,therein lies the problem.
This feels unfair and it is ,how we deal with this as a group (BA) will be a test of us all.
Go easy out there............
PS ,im a "flight deck" but very supportive of our crew
