Crewmeal,
The fines were probably paid out of the excessive revenues they generated - that's why they were fined!
Fuel Hedging is an age old problem - you win some you lose some.
Neither of these required cuts from any employee and they were accounted for well before this crisis started.
The losses are a different story. BA's revenue is down a billion, and that's probably what they have lost in the last two years.
Everyone else accepted reasonable cuts, cabin crew haven't.
What's worse is that if CC accepted what was first offered, the only difference would have been a CSD having to do some real work, and the rest of the crew having to work a bit harder.
UNITE and BASSA's total intransigence will now cost you dearly.
BLAME THEM!
