MaskedGoatrider,
A large portion of the membership are fighting to retain jobs and minimise the depth of the pay cuts so they can retain employment opportunities into the future not only for themselves but for the crews of the future
You may wish to rewrite your post as it is entirely incorrect.
They are not fighting to retain jobs - the jobs went voluntarily.
They are not fighting to minimise the depth of the pay cuts. BA didn't suggest pay cuts - the Union did.
They are not fighting to retain employment opportunities - there won't be any if BA do not survive this, or at best, the offers from BA will be worse than those already offered.
They are simply...fighting.
