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
A massive indictment of the union. BA have been clear whats on offer, but BASSA have muddied the waters and scared the crew so much they have no idea what could be achieved. Whatever happens in the next few weeks, please replace your representatives.
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??
Most won't lose out and some will gain. Some who always seem to pull the plum trips (who are they do you think) will lose. The main savings come from simplifying the process. Joe bloggs flys x hours on y per hour is easy compared with the current system (which triggers different payments based on what occurs on the day).
