An excellent Post Beagle9. Throughout my over 3 decades within BA. The company has always handled cost savings re staffing in the same way. You will get the same pay but you will have to work harder and/or your work lifestyle will change. I have friends who are top managers who given that very option.
So as a CSD I am on a trolley again, no problem, Maybe I won't go to Singapore for 2 nights (like I go there often...NOT). No problem.
What matters is I get paid as before, my income is supported by the supplement should it go below the annual sum (a figure much reduced after BASSA let that offer slip). My pension is hopefully ok.
We all just have to get on with it.
