I suppose it's easier when you can bid to work your half a month in a row and then have remaining half a month off. It's different for those of us on WW (with a "computer says no" system) as we don't have a bidding system when they are working us to a maximum.
MissM is trying to blame "someone else" for the fact that crew don't have a decent bidding system.
Almost every other airline has a crew bidding system, and BA used one for mid-fleet (and I believe plans are to introduce one for mixed fleet).
Why don't crew have a bidding / swapping system?
Because their reps don't want one!
Bassa reps choose their trips, and can drop any they don't want - to then replace with any good trips available. Why would they want a fair and equitable system for all crew?
So MissM. Time to get real. If you're as intelligent and educated as many crew keep telling us then ask some searching questions. Like.
Where are the Bassa accounts
How much does DH take as income, and when will some real elections take place
Blame your own reps.
