FlyerUK69, it's a well known fact that BASSA is run by CSDs, for CSDs. It's insulting that you're all so ignorant to what is going on in the company/industry/economy/world and that you believe all the lies BASSA tells you it defies belief. it's the blind leading a bunch of blind sheep.
It is quite shocking BASSA make such a big deal of Willie's comments on 'Fighting for Survival', yet it's all over the press bad-mouthing BA and threatening strikes which, believe it or not, could bring down the airline. Wake up and smell the roses. Find some common ground, reach negotiation and keep your jobs, or sink the airline so NOONE has a job??
Too long have the (old contract) crew had it too good. Too many years of NO NO NO and STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE, getting their own way. Welcome to a recession. Millions of people around you are unemployed or fighting for their jobs. Airlines are going bust. The pilots have reached agreement since they (BA, BALPA and the pilots) talk to each other like adults, using facts and, well, reality - none of which seems to occur with discussions with BASSA.
Drastic change is required from the cabin crew. I've read the BA proposal to cabin crew and it is VERY reasonable and fully justified. There is nothing wrong with the LGW operation, so there is no reason why the LHR one cannot become more in line with it.
Willie should send you all two pieces of paper. a new contract and a P45. you pick which one you sign.
