Thank you for some of you replies, the don't knows and the what ifs are the worrying part, I believe that
had BASSA sat around the table like adults and negotiated, then alot of those "what ifs" could have been ironed out.
I note you took a basic cabin crew members pay for illustration rather than a Purser £26K-£34K or a CSDs max £43K, this would cost BA quite a significant amount more
I don't believe the BASSA hype and do not think BA would utilise the "career link" for cabin crew in the arrangement you or BASSA suggest.
As someone has said in an earlier post BASSA are using the "what ifs" to put the fear into Cabin Crew, at point some crew are going to have to take a step back and either try and put some faith in their employer or move on.
Incidentally it has taken some 12 years for "new contract" crew to outnumber their peers in MPE
