Just got off a Gatwick trip and all 10 of us are Voting No! to this latest proposal. After all, there's nothing in it for Gatwick. The flight crew have got their Leisure Agreement. What do we have? Nothing! We're already having our MOA breached with the Maldives itinerary. Cancun is even worse!
Thankfully Gatwick is waking up. We've lost our right to transfer, something our flight crew would NOT tolerate! And now our MOA is being breached further with NO acknowledgement for the breach. Would our flight crew colleagues accept continued breaches to their agreements and say nothing?
What your flight crew (pilot) colleagues have or haven't got, is largely irrelevant. The mods have stated that, many times. If you
want what the pilots have then
become a pilot! If you
don't want the substantial expense, effort, and time involved in becoming a pilot, then it is probably best to stop banging on about it! [Sorry Mods, but it
still needs stating, and regularly too!
]
As has also been stated several times - if MF Ts & Cs are
so bad, then folk won't apply. Or, alternatively, BA will have to up the Ts & Cs in an effort to attract the required number of applicants. If MF is as unsustainable as some 'legacy' crew here keep trying to make out, then perhaps BA will be forced to can it completely. But you all know that ain't going to happen.
So enough of the spurious nonsense about "no one can afford to live on
that wage". Many do cope on wages like that, quite sucessfully too. And everyone seems to forget that some MF cabin crew will be second-wage earners i.e. they will be bringing in
extra icome on top of another wage earner in their family. It is very clear from some statements posted here that many have a sense of entitlement which is is well above their real worth in the wider world.
