I have seen the letters sent to my friends refusing to release them.I believe the main reason for the removal of crew position on flights was not only to reduce cost but also to address a serious manpower shortage at LHR.

Personally I think Bassa should have been more clever in their dealings and accept a temporary crewing reduction.This would have given the company enough time to re evaluate their short term strategy and given Bassa some leverage.Instead Bassa rushed into a ballot whilst the company rushed into the MF option leading to today's situation.
Hindsight is great but turning back the clock is not an option,so where do we go from here?
