How would the restructuring of variable allowances help the cabin crew community save money? It will definitely protect future earnings, but that extends the time to see a tangible return for New Fleet benefit and therefore, why would BA do it?
To reassure current crew, and to protect their incomes.
Or are you suggesting that BA should simply introduce New Fleet anyway without protection for current crew?
Oh, sorry, no, that's what Bassa want to do. Silly me!
