Care to explain where BALPA should have found the time to not respond to the company's demands for savings?
WW is taking the golden opportunity to take on the dinosaur unions and deal with their obstructiveness and lack of realism once and for all.
Fortunately it is plain that he realises the pilots usually have a career long commitment to BA, are intelligent and are represented by people of intelligence. Hence the way it was left to the pilots to decide HOW the savings were made with the AMOUNT set by the company. Both WW and Keith Williams, the Chief Financial Officer have both given numerous presentations in person to the pilots.
In recent years hard and prolonged negotiations over work coverage issues and the pension deficit and now lower pay and higher productivity have resulted in changes acceptable to both sides. Long may it continue and I wish all the BA unions were as able and resourceful as BALPA.
