It will not take 15 years for New Fleet to be fully implemented. It will take less time than this. They have already suggested quite a few destinations to go over and once the fleet is running they will transfer over destination by destination. Why did they choose the least popular destinations for New Fleet? Because they think crew wouldn't mind losing them. For future route transfers, they don't need to negotiate anything with BASSA because the proposal says "discuss" and there's the difference.

Are crew really worried about what is going to happen in 15 years? I think you will find that many are worried about what will happen. It will not take 15 years.

MTP seems like a good deal but it also says that it will be adjusted every year and based on the flight schedule. As routes go over to New Fleet there will be a reduction in flights on both EF and WW and logically the MTP rate would also be decreased.

This proposal has far too many loopholes. I will not even touch it.
