Ava,
Surely it must be obvious to you that MF has come in, as a larger fleet initially, because so many cabin crew have cost the company a lot of money. The savings from MF will recoup the cost of the strike many times over.
There was never any chance that existing cabin crew and new cabin crew would work together on the new fleet. The whole point is to operate cabin crew costs at a similar level to our competitors and also in a much more efficient manner.
I hope that cabin crew see sense and vote to accept the latest offer. If not I am sure the measures used this time will be drastic. With so many additional vcc, those who have not been on strike AND those who have at last been given an opportunity to have their say - who will actually need the strikers.
I feel that the reason that bassa are havng to even let you guys have a say is part of a plan from Untie to cut lose from the loony fringe of bassa hq!!
