FWIW at least cabin crew haven't been put through the delights of having to reapply for their jobs as some A scale staff have. Having 20 people play musical chairs for 15 jobs is not fun.
They were the lucky ones. I know of one department which told dozens of people that they were no longer wanted. I also know of a large section of another department which found themselves without work when it was downsized.
A lot of cabin crew really do not know how lucky that they have not had cutbacks imposed on them They would then have had little prospect of getting another job in BA even with Careerlink help.
