The BA proposals were for efficiencies for current crew and removing crew members on flights and then the FUTURE employment of crew to a new fleet.
That scenario hasnt changed as far as I know.
It is not possible to recruit 12000 crew just like that. No many if any legacy crew will accept the new contracts.So how do you run an airline with no crew? It may be fine to run a part schedule with volunteers etc for a short time to break a strike. But also very costly!
The trick for BA is to achieve cuts and be seen as a caring employer and retain the goodwill of the majority of good crew out there as well of course as breaking BASSA.
