Litebulbs I'm sorry but I have read and re read the (albeit abridged) BA proposal. Nowhere can I see a pay cut suggested - that was suggested by BASSA - the only mention of pay was in relation to the monthly amount in lieu of non meal allowances - which is not a must for BA anyway but quite possibly a good way for the old crew to protect their allowances should the new new contract crew end up doing the premium routes. There is also the pay freeze but then - everybody is doing that and it is hardly a pay cut during a time of deflation.
Please stop listening to BASSA exagerations/fabrications and examine the material yourself and you may find yourself coming out with a different oppinion - I know I did.
