JT, without entering a debate on the semantics.Comments on a forum have little to do with the financial performance of the airline.
I was merely pointing out that since 1997 C/C have accepted changes and reduction of income.
They have not, they simply agreed to a restructuring of their income with in many cases an increase in their pensionable pay and the introduction of new contract cabin crew with different pay scales.
Even the lucrative box payments introduced at the time was resisted by bassa and it is only still available today due to a superior negotiating skill of the cc89 team.
