Diplome, your comment about a new poster trying to re-write history rings true. But I suggest that his/her belief in what they write is genuine. How else could they write something like:
I believe one thing our strike did achieve is ensuring the rest of our T&Cs remain untouched.
IIRC the very first offer from the company ensured that the existing T&C's in place at the time were to remain untouched, the only change being that a crew member would be taken off certain flights in an attempt to save on costs. If wiser heads had prevailed at BASSA, their members would undoubtedly be much better off now than they will be in the future. As it is, who else has the knowledge that pay increases are written into the future?
It is my view that BA's intention, after the blank refusal of BASSA to engage in dialogue, to irradicate the "Spanish Practices" was enhanced.
