Hello Jollyjon, I'm not clear why you think you have been asked to give anything up...

Regarding salary, I have nothing to hide with my views. It's my opinion that I (can only spk for myself I suppose) would be happy to be part of some negotiation that offered me some sort of future finacial security in exchange for a salary reduction. Whilst it's all a bit of risk, with no real guarantee for a future job, then I'm standing firm.
You were offered financial security for the future not once, but twice, in the form of the Fixed Monthly Duty Payment and subsequently in the Top Up payment.

Both offered you the guarantee that no matter what WW fleet looked like in the future, you would always earn the same as you do now (rising with inflation).

There were also talks about route transfers so BA were definitely prepared to do some deals around what WW would look like in the future.

So you've been offered guarantees about both your pay and your lifestyle meaning MFH was never a threat to you in any way... other than perhaps the size of WW as people left through natural attrition.

Please help me to understand why you are scared, and so mistrustful? Why do you think BA has got it in for you?

BTW with regards to CRM/atmosphere on board etc, I've seen no evidence of it on EF. I think all the sniping must be a WW thing. And as for GF they are having a whale of a time just getting on with the job they love.

Why can't you?
