MPN11,
It's the longhaul routes that the major money is earned So this IMHO, is where the largest group reaction will be. As they see they are the ones being most affected. So, I am not suprised that the stats show longhaul at 57%. LGW crew aren't interested in this strike, Shorthaul crew now also seem to be turning their backs on BASSA.
Given that shed loads of temps are being refreshed at Cranebank another to 2 Fam flights for BA volunteers yesterday ( about 80 more staff ) With the ability to provide more Longhaul crews from within BA vols ( that are increasing in size every week) plus the temps. You may see a nearly, if not full Longhaul programme next time around, should it happen. Whilst La La's troops continue to strike waive banners spew endless lies and all this without having seen the offer that was on the table.
No loss in pay.
T and C's protected.
Extra free flight.
Profit share in line with pilots.
Guaranteed 3 year pay increases.
You just couldn't make it up !!
Just popped over to this site from the airline site and hope this helps.
