the flying nunn
Sadly if it wasn't for the hardliners we would have been able to avoid new fleet, had some shares to inspire us to really make our customers happy, and a free ticket to take a holiday to wherever we wanted. In hindsight I think you would come across very few crew that would now no think that giving up a night in LA would not have been a small price to pay.
Was this proposal for real? Did BF explain to the crew community that shares/tickets etc had been proposed but BASSA turned it down. Please point me in the right direction as I don't recall.
As for New Fleet being avoided, I don't think so. It was either NF as a seperate entity or NF by integrating 'New Crew' on to current fleets via an 'Integrated/Flexi Approach' with agreement changes.
