A very erudite translation/interpretation of how things really are
moo.
BA IFCE management should copy your post, paste it into a memo and post it out to each and every cabin crew member.
Lots of them already know much of what you say and, sadly, many others will remain in denial anyway, but I believe it would be a serious eye-opener for a significant number who have become used to believing everything BASSA say (because they've always been hosed down with cash for sticking to the union line in the past).
Unfortunately for them (but fortunately for our company's survival chances), times have changed.
The fact that, even with the imposition, they're still about the best rewarded cabin crew anywhere in the world seems not to be a factor in their thinking. It's all quite bizarre really, especially when you hear words like "I'd rather they go bust than get away with this". Where else do they think their lack of qualifications are going to earn them the equivalent of £30-36k per annum?
Talk about killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
