Are you happy and prepared to accept the BA proposals in their entirety?
Of course no one will be happy! Why would anyone be happy to cut back on anything?
You think the pilots are "happy" to take a pay cut and work harder? of course not.

The thing is that many cabin crew just "don't get it", the fact that the savings MUST be made and are NON NEGOTIABLE that is.

Six months ago pilots thought it was rubbish, everything is "negotiable" after all, it took a long detailed review by BALPA before they realised that the savings were indeed required and the figure was indeed "non negotiable".
Thereafter BALPA spent 3 months working out how best to make those savings.

Cabin crew all voted no to ANY savings, at least BASSA now realises that savings must be made hence their own "£173million" proposal.
Touble is it's no good because of all the wasted months.

Please tell me why many crew are still yet to grasp the concept of recession/financial difficulty/need for cuts even at this stage?
Is it lack of intelligence or stubborness?

A lot of us just don't get why you don't get it.

Edited..... just reading the last few posts it would seem a lot of crew do "get it" I guess some do and some don't, just which is the majority?
