As I understand it the intergrated fleet idea was accepted by the company, but they also needed other things to make it work and get the savings they were looking for eg. double nights down route. (If anyone one has a different understanding of this please feel free to correct me).
Hasn't this been one of the big issues all along? How and what to give in order to get the savings and not change the crews T & C's drastically.
If forced back to the table again are you saying BASSA would accept it this time?
I haven't got a clue what they are thinking!
My post is mearly
my suggestion of a way forward, we are debating how it could look, what may or may not be acceptable, healthy stuff.
We need a lot more of that, wouldn't you agree?
NB. When I fly I try and avoid discussions onboard re. IR issues, however when asked my opinion I do enter into respectful debate. The message I get loud and clear is an intergrated fleet is the best option.
I would hope my colleagues representatives would be aware of that feeling.
