Juan Tugoh,
No promise = no return to work.
= No pay for the entire time they are not at work! They forget that at their peril.
13 please,
How do you come to your conclusion about how senior the crew were on the different trips???
Relax! Read carefully what I wrote:
.... more senior cabin crew, who are more likely to be staunch BASSA supporters ....
Not all of senior cabin crew are like that, I grant you, but there most certainly are a senior cadre that play the system, garnering lucrative trips for themselves. It does happen.
License to Fly,
Does this strike show that Willie could reduce more crew off the long haul planes and still get the service done ?!
The flights during the strike have not been running a full service - e.g. hot meals replaced by simplified 'cold' catering. Not something that BA would want to continue long-term, but is has made the service manageable such that passengers can get to their destinations. That is what the entire schedule should be about - doing the best for the passengers! "Fly To Serve!"
