I really hope very few pilots are anti crew but i think there are strong anti bassa feelings because,
Like the rest of the company we gave up money and increased productivity because we think the company is in deep trouble.
Bassa said the problem was temporary and their offer would only increase debt. They then went on to use the pilot agreement as a weapon to divide us ( included the 2.61% pay cut missed out the TAFB freeze missed out the 20% flying pay cut and said we would get the money back in shares. Shares depend on being profitable & maximum value is less than half of what we've lost. You were also offered shares subject to 30th June deadline)
BA were always going to make the savings so they imposed the November changes.
The bassa 12 days of Christmas strike was seen as wholey disprotionate, an attack on our customers and the future of our company. Hundreds of pilots voluntiered to be door operators on the BA forum believing the loony left are trying to destroy BA.
Bassa publish the latest mis-information claiming that BALPA were recruiting voluntiers. Not true. Bassa edit this after some pressure and tell us to Foxtrot Oscar. This resulted in many more voluntiers.
We see friends and colleagues being led down the path to ruin by a dishonest union and will not lose our jobs over the egos of the bassa reps. It isn't you, it is your union.
Believe Bill Frances:
Strike , you are nufleet
No strike , you might be nufleet in a few years.
BA will need to be seen to reward loyality so will not punish no voters with a new contract. I suspect FlexSRS is accurate above with his prediction of the near future if there is a strike.
