The point is that we have no power to stop BA starting up a different fleet on different terms. Our best chance would have been a union that actually participated in cost cutting talks with the company in a meaningful way to help protect us crew in the first place.
No crew wanted Mixed Fleet to come along on these lower terms and conditions but the way Bassa has handled all of this, has actually made it worse and actually hardened Willie Walsh's attitude towards crew and the strike has caused it to come in stronger and harder and weakened the union at the same time.
Now a strike threat does not worry Walsh at all because he now has an army of volunteers to ride any strike out with.
My advise would be to any fellow crew to accept this offer now and worry about your staff travel later.
