MissM
my guess is that you are either a rep, or a serious Bassa militant.
So many of your comments are incendiary and belligerent.
You are bright enough to respond to a discussion point but are unable to shake off your prevailing attitude which is either that of someone unfairly persecuted, or that of a committed socialist.
Clearly you are fighting for a cause.
And you take most comments personally.
Your statements are not intended for the open minded contributors or thread watchers; but are aimed at any crew members viewing this discussion and to scare or coerce them into voting yes and striking.
Of the 40 or so Bassa reps, how many will actually be on strike?
Not the chair, or the secretarry, that's for sure.
I am not pro management as such , but I do believe BA is in deep trouble, and has to restructure for a different passenger profile in the future.
I do think it is fair that crew reduce their costs significantly.
I do not believe that the current "imposed" changes impact you - or the operation - to any serious degree.
As for the fear of future change from the introduction of a new fleet, it doesn't matter what BA say or promise.............. you won't believe them!
So there is nothing BA can do to manage you. You are out of control!
If I was Willie I would be looking for a way to dispense with any disloyal staff who undermine the management's ability to perform their task.
I am sure your jobs would be safe on the proposed t & c's.
If there is to be a new fleet then it could be operated seperately.
Over the course of - say - 20 years, then , inevitably the pay and agreements will very gradually be eroded (because they are so superior to our competitors), and crew know this , hence the paranoia.
But I see no reason for any sudden compulsory redeployment to a cheaper fleet.
I would not support the company in any way if they took that route!
However, I DO support the company's strategy to impose the changes now.
Because they are not unreasonable. They barely impact your salary, or your working conditions.
