The point is that it is hypocritical for one group of employees who enjoy a certain standard of t&cs to negotiate t&cs for another group of employees on lesser t&cs. Unless the first group wish to raise the second groups t&cs to their level - which will not happen at BA because it would negate the need for mixed fleet, and defeat the object of mixed fleet.

If PCCC is to undertake collective bargainig rights for mixed fleet, then it will need identifiable mixed fleet reps for BA to converse with, likewise for a hugely expanded PCCC on legacy fleets. Come negotiation time BA will not discuss issues on an online annoymous forum with fourty percentage worth of differing views. That defeats the object of collective bargainig. To be credible the PCCC needs to be identifiable and accountable.
