Sorry HaHaHa, but DOES the 'company' want more from Gatwick?

As far as I'm aware BASSA are the only ones so far to offer to (yet again) disadvantage Gatwick crew in the hope of bouying up Heathrow Crews' Pay and Terms & Conditions, by offering ALL crew (inc Gatwick) up for a payCUT to reinstate the (clearly unnecessary) extra crew member at Heathrow!!

Obviously this fervently 'democratic' outfit didn't feel it necessary to ask their 10,000 plus members what their thoughts were on taking the TWO paycuts that they have now offered BA without membership support or consultation!

Bearing in mind that Gatwick has been operating VERY successfully (and DEMONSTRABLY well)....well above other airlines' minimums and WITHOUT this extra crewmember for years, AND on minimal wages, why should the clearly poorer-off crew at LGW support the LHR CSD BASSA 'Bosses' in their unwinable and outrageous bid to hijack and ransom our great company British Airways?!....a company whose success, I would highlight, is necessary for all of our pensions and future salaries to be paid.

This is clearly not the sort of inconvenience the Unite Reps have to worry about...their pensions are nothing to with BAs trading capacity, but, like, whateverlike, VillieValsh 'n' all that ****init
