Some of those 'BASSA MILITANTS' as you say - may well have a mortgage to pay and if they are put onto new rates of pay then they may well not be able to pay their mortgages - or is that too obvious?
No, A Lurker not too obvious - just too presumptious. Where does it say anywhere in the entire universe that we are going to be "put onto new rates of pay"?
When you've found it, can you please tell me WHAT my new rate of pay is going to be?
When you've done that, can you please tell me WHEN my new rate of pay is going to start?
I am BA cabin crew (much to the disbelief of some) and this is my own viewpoint and not that of BA.
