The evidence that I see is that they do not want to do it.
It is just about Power for them.
In which case, BA's only option is to break their power.
There are lots of ways of breaking their power, but the obvious one, which has been very common in the UK - Shell, ICI, Unilever, BP amongst others have used it - is to give the 90 days notice and to ask EVERY BA CC member to re-apply for thier job.
I've worked through this, and I hated it, but it provides the sort of solution that BA currently need.
Ancient Observer,
I agree it's just about Power and you only have to read the posts by the die hard militants who are full of bravado here yet are scared of that very power called BASSA to suggest anything else.
SOSR is something I fear and the last thing any of us want. I will lose as I'm an old contract CSD on Eurofleet.
The difference is I recognise changes have to be made, but what it will do is sieve out the vermin.
In that case, I would say bring it on as I'm ready to put my money where my mouth is.
I'm BA Cabin Crew and the above are my views and not those of my employer's.
