VCC or MF crew should not be used if legacy crew are sat at home in my opinion.
As you say, it is your "opinion", but the company doesn't need to account for that.
BASSA have agreed to a reduction of the 48 hour rule yet not in place as nothing have been agreed with BA.
So if BASSA haven't "agreed with BA", then "BASSA have agreed" with themselves? Not a surprise, really ......
I think you will find that the vast majority of cabin crew have been with BA for a very long time.
Because they know they couldn't possibly make easy money like that anywhere else?
Us being responsible for more lost days due to sickness could have something to do with that we cannot work, for instance when having a cold.
Those colds have an alarming habit of showing up around Henley Festival, Ascot race week, etc etc.
