Colonel White,
Actually as I have mentioned in my above post this is actually a really good offer. It is good for BA because it saves them a fortune with New Fleet and it is good for current crew because our allowances remain the same but with safe guards that they will not go below last years average.
It's a fantastic offer and it is a direct result of crew emailing Bill directly with their worries and nothing to do with the strike. Bill confirmed this in his web chat. He also confirmed that it will take years for New Fleet to grow because it can only grow as we decrease and that is 1% per year currently, plus any part time offers ( which is how they get the initial intake onto New Fleet in November, there are thousands of crew waiting to take part time offers.) or as the schedual increases.
You can be sure that they (BASSA) will eventually realise it is a good offer and then try and take credit for it. They always do.
