dave3,
Thanks for the reply. I think it's fair to say that crew have had their working conditions changed by BA, so perhaps it would be better to admit that rather than trying to claim you are winning the fight and have not suffered defeats.
On reflection I think:
still there and still on their terms and conditions 2 years later..
none of them have signed a new contract... I wouldnt call that defeated!!!
might have been a tad optimistic.
