Duggie,

You keep going on about VCC whilst having little clue about them.

Obviously, the 500 VCC who are pilots will remain pilots.

Also, rather obviously, the great majority of the other VCC, like office workers, ramp staff and and engineers, would take a big drop in pay if they joined Mixed Fleet. In any case, they already have their own jobs and careers. So, they will also remain in their current jobs.

You just don't seem to realise that people have volunteered in a variety of ways to keep BA flying. It's no good pointing out those passenger service agents who have become VCC and want to join MF. There will always be exceptions, but the vast majority of VCC no more want to be permanent cabin crew than WDC rebookers want to become call centre agents.

What I do think is great is that due to action taken by people with your point of view, BA now has this growing army of volunteers to help keep most flights operating. Who says that nothing good ever came from BASSA?
