Mixed Fleet would be being used to put down all the loyal hardworking crew, like it is being and quite frankly it is not fair, on the Mixed Fleet crew either, that they are being used like this by BA.
They are HAVING to be used like this because the unions will not cooperate.
Mixed fleet was off the table last year if current crew had been prepared to reduce their costs.
We are not so shallow as to hate all crew personally, I just said that as a GROUP the image of current crew is very poor because of the group behaviour.
The working relationship with current crew is ok on a daily basis if the crew are nice like yourselves. Alas if you asked most people behind closed doors what they thought of crew in general you might not like the answer.
If that upsets you and the many other hard working loyal crew then do something about it!
BASSA is only still in existence and still fighting a lost cause because so many crew are still supporting them.
Why do crew not resign, force a change to the bassa strategy and then rejoin if and when they represent the wants and needs of the community as a whole?
This can't be blamed on BA, everything so far is as result of BASSA and it's inflexibility.
Oh, and hats would be a union thing, BA can't just force everyone to wear one, not everyone would want one.
