No-one who regularly posts here suggests that BA cabin crew aren't professional and considerate.
And of course they were trained in their role. Any volunteers will be equally professional and considerate, if not quite so slick in the first couple of trips.

Please quote where they have done that.

The 'leaked' pay scales are, for a start, in the public domain (see CAA website), and demonstrated BA's legitimate need to reduce cabin crew costs when compared to our competitors. That's not sinking low, that's stating your case.

Glad you agree, so what's the point in destroying your union by going on strike then?

Things have a nasty and inevitable habit of coming around and going around, and this will happen, absolutely and for dead sure.
What's that supposed to mean? What would possibly concern BA on an industrial basis after winning this?

Or are you simply relying on 'Fate'?
