The pay cuts were in BASSA's last counter proposal presented to BA. It included pay cuts (to be reinstated at some later date, I forget the exact details) to enable the restoration of the CSD position to a supervisory position rather than the CSD having to actually have to take part in the service routines.
A little bit rich for LGW CC where a pay cut would have had a disproportionate, in fact unacceptable, effect on the BASSA negotiated pay levels at LGW. Made more of a joke because it was to support the cost of a sustaining a non-working CSD role at LHR (LGW have a working Cabin Manager, no CSD)!
