Many BA crew are not at all worried about crewing levels apart from the fact that imposition breaks collective agreements.
Indeed they are not worried about crewing levels, so why go on repeated strikes about the imposition last November which Judge Sir Christopher Holland agreed with in the case of
Malone & Ors v British Airways Plc [2010] EWHC 302 (QB) (19 February 2010).
The crew complements remain significantly above the FAA minimum, the flights demonstrably can continue and to the extent that there is an aligning of LGW and LHR levels it is difficult to raise substantial objections. But, more importantly all such has to be judged not in a vacuum but in the light of the financial situation: if the new complements materially and fairly contribute to the preservation of BA and more importantly for present purposes job security and pay, how can I condemn the less than extreme changes as unreasonable?
I have
never known Unite, BASSA or any of their supporters provide any sort of counter-argument to Sir Christopher's ruling. Would you like to have a go at this, Hector?
