Don't forget there is no intention of replacing the 184 crew on long haul flights when one down working was imposed last November. Neither is there any mention of the return of staff travel allowances to strikers. Moreover, there is no mention of any relenting on the disciplinaries.

Mixed Fleet will reduce costs and because salaries are not so generous, it will take us all back to the 1960s and 70s when cabin crew jobs were not seen as a career. Rather, they were taken by youngsters for a few years before marriage. So, holding down the pay rates might generate great resource turnover but it could also result in more energetic and committed crew members than some within the current complement.
