FACTS
Dear All I have just listened to the Radio 5 broadcast. Some of the facts were not entirely factual.
1. Those training as Temp Cabin Crew are NOT getting a £500 bung.
2. Pilots took a pay AND productivity deal. Since existing CC won't be losing pay they must increase productivity. That essentially involves the SCCM coming out of their "office" and taking part in the service. Obviously on a full flight that will be essential. Many of the good ones do so anyway.
3. The cost of BA CC at LHR is £60 per hour. BA CC at LGW cost BA £30 per hour. Virgin are £27 per hour.
4. 2/3rds of the Cabin Crew budget (which is about 99% PPI) goes on 1/3 of the Crew (old contract)
5. BASSA have spent very little time "in the room with BA" over the last year.
6. BA have offered CC a share incentive scheme and to remmove the threat of the "new contract".
Just thought that the "whole" truth is yet to emerge.
