Wish list, a guess in order of needs to be sorted PDQ.
1. Pensions closed
2. Pensions closed.
3. Pensions closed.
4. Reduce staff costs, reduce headcount, get new aircraft, AA/IB etc etc.
4 is all good stuff, much smoke and mirrors, yes it needs to be done, don't think the IB will stay the course.
If number 1 was done first, problems dealing with number 4 would be fun.
Get 4 sorted, deal done, then number 1 can be done.
I think the CC unions are well aware that if they were to accept a big reductions in T+Cs and then Pensions closed, their members will have been sold very short.
CC unions will play the long game to keep T+Cs, they know the Pension problems will be on the table sooner than later, by playing the long game, they will hold a better hand when the Pensions are being sorted out.
Any chance of a poll on the results of the CC vote, a wild guess would be 77% vote of IA.
Good luck to all the CC.
