Now that is a really interesting question. There is nothing to stop BA putting out a voluntary offer to the workforce. But how would this benefit the business, because it is the structure of how the business works, that will reap the benefit of the contract changes. They have to go hand in hand. How would you manage the two groups and the varying contractual terms?
He could form a consultative group, where all things could be discussed. It would not be a negotiating body, so the end result would still be on the terms of BA, but at least it would get a fair representation of what the more moderate part of the workforce would be looking for.
