Where exactly do any other losses come from - you aren't being asked for a pay cut you are being asked to work with a reduced crewing compliment and to increas productivity.
A very good point. I have pointed this out a couple of times. All of us should be VERY GLAD that we are not getting a 2.61% pay cut. BA is kind not asking for it, especially when it was thrown into their hands earlier this summer by a particular union. BASSA can't understand why BA never accepted their proposal when it did "include a pay cut". Well done.
