The biggest danger is what is happening in the real world, the one that exists on the dim and distant fringe of 'LaLa' world.
At the moment there are quite a few Airlines teetering on the brink and having to make difficult decisions.
One of those is, indeed, in BA's own 'back yard' so to say.
They are looking at grounding aircraft, returning aircraft to lessors and reducing, drastically, routes. This will leave them with an excess of flying personnel. Not only CC but FC as well. The future doesn't look very bright for a large contingent of this companies employees.
Now, this companies employees have managed, for the past years, to survive on the sort of T's & C's that the BASSA hierarchy are claiming to be 'below the breadline', 'non sustainable' and 'slave labour'. They have been working the schedules, rosters and crewing levels that the BASSA hierarchy have described as 'unworkable', 'insulting' and a 'health and safety hazard'.
Through no fault of their own they are facing in the very near future redundancy and all the financial implications that poses. Do you think they will mind 'New Fleet' and it's supposedly draconian contracts? Do you think they, as trained crew, will mind a quick new job on the back of the BASSA 'die hards' 90 day termination of contract?
Nope.
BASSA must realise that the world turns on. IA in this current climate over something that BASSA themselves failed to take part in through their own choices is ludicrous.
I can only hope that more and more crew see the sense in sending BASSA a clear message that the continued support for keeping the BASSA hierarchy in their elevated positions at the cost of the lowest members has to stop.
