With the bonus announcement, and the recent announcement that IFCE has achieved the desired £127m cost saving, are we to now presume that the fight for survival is over.
As for animosity towards mixed fleet crew from legacy crew, I see very little of it. The majority of 'legacy' crew know that the majority of new crew have absolutely no blame in this god awful mess. I recently operated to a destination with a full B777 mixed fleet crew positioning onboard. A pleasant time was had by most, outside of the service mingling in the galley and discussing issues. Indeed only their CSM was reluctant to integrate (and therefore didn't). Both parties were honest and open about their issues and from what I was told directly, most of the stories and issues disregarded as myths by BA and BA backers are actually true.
