Good news for Unite and BA, not so good for BASSA:
BA staff close to deal - News & Advice, Travel - The Independent
The issue of staffing numbers is an interesting one. The one down scheme provided savings initially required...though we now have the Mixed Fleet recruitment and they will be in operation in short order.
There will be some natural loss due to retirement, etc., but what the regular rate of that for BA Cabin Crew is not something I'm aware of. How many of the more militant individuals who lost their Staff Travel can continue paying for their lifestyle choice? Its obvious from Mr. Holley's most recent messages that BASSA plans nothing in the short term to give them a promise of relief.
Some of those airfares represent a high price to check in and punch your time clock. At what point does it become impossible?
