Newswires now reporting that BASSA have offered BA a 3.4% paycut and a 2 year pay freeze, and have given BA until Tuesday to accept, or they will strike.
Question for cabin crew; Would you rather work 1 down, or take a 3.4% paycut and 2yr freeze?
(I'm not sure 3.4% will be enough, I guess there are other savings along with the headline measures!)
As a quick & dirty look at the numbers, £60m divided by 11,000 cabin crew is about £5,400 each. If the average cabin crew was earning £40,000, a 3.4% cut would be worth about £1,400 each, so unless the average cabin crew pay was £160,000, then a 3.4% cut isn't going to make £60m worth of savings!
