I don't know which side I blame more for the reduction of cabin crew jobs and how it was handled. I blame the union for not realising that 1000 people would happily leave their employment. You are then left with trying to defend the position of the crew (well one position) working harder during an economic downturn.
But I also blame BA for fanning the situation by trying to get a whole raft of changes through on the back of what should have been a simple redundancy process.
It is my opinion that a new contract or new fleet is the end game and I am sure that most crew agree, the 2 issues could have been discussed separately.
