No change to pay.
Increments being paid as normal (between 2% and 7 %).

An option to fix our variable pay elements, based on this years flying which is will be higher than next years. I, (as my name suggests I recently clarified this with a very senior IFCE representative, they confirmed this was optional). So if you doubt this, don't take it and carry on as you are.
Meal allowances being paid as normal.
Not change to any T & C's eg. leave, days off, time off down route etc.
The offer of a share save scheme (2010 -2013)
An additional free bookable ticket for each crew member and their close relatives next year.
The door is still open, an intergrated fleet could still be negoiated.

ArthurScargill welcome to the forum please let us know what you think of the company's offer.
Its difficult to comment not knowing what you have today but simply based on what you posted, the companys offer looks reasonable to me. Not fantastic but surely most people are aware of the current economic and trading conditions of BA right now ?

Its an interesting comment you make about other areas of BA taking note of this case. It has to be said that sympathy is fast dwindling (I must point out theres no malice [yet] towards Cabin Crew as a group, but bewilderment that so many are prepared to place their destiny in the hands of socialist cretins and disgraced ex-BA staff with agendas of their own).
I might be mistaken but i think Cabin Crew is the only area yet to contribute towards cost savings (which probably doesn't help) and obviously any strike will put our own livelihoods at risk which is why most non-crew won't support/sympathise with any strike action.

from the outside looking in and speaking to (admitedly a very small amount) of crew in recent times when i have been travelling there's certainly an element of 'pressure' from the unions. My own opinion is that the unions have different agenda to those they are alledgedly representing and of course they have FAR less to lose.
