I am quite possibly wrong regarding figures and taxation there, and should re-read before posting, and would love to know the exact facts and figures.
My main point is really that there is an air of uncertainty. The crew I have spoken to (and this in no way a majority!) are concerned that there is no clarity with what is on offer, and no reasurance that soon down the line, any changes now will allow for bigger changes.
My concern is that if the crew aren't going to lose money by accepting this new payment, how does it save BA money, and whats the point in it??
Whilst I support the need to recover a business before its too late, I also see the fear and uncertainty many are feeling over all this, crew, employees, passengers alike. It needs to be resolved. But with both sides standing stubborn and refusing to budge, wheres it going to go?
