oh - oh. You are so right. It was the union that wanted a separate fleet. Now they are trying to rewrite history. We had temps last year earning MF salaries and having days off down route the same way as existing fleets. On return to base however they had MBT's in line with Scheme and now MF. The union wanted a separte fleet so Miss M is being misguided.
Miss M 5811 people voted for IA. I would put good money on some of them being part time so would be unaffected by IA as they will miss it. With nearly 14000 cabin crew now that means more than 8000 crew never voted for IA be it because they are non union, they are union members but could not be bothered to vote, ICC's, Gatwick crew or MF crew. 8000+ crew not in this at all and that is without VCC's.
There are several thousand people hoping Unite the union will reinvent itself and get rid of the 2 Branches and have a union that represents and appeals to everyone. The union started this with 11000 members. Each member paying £16 per month and they have lost several thousand members. That is a lot of cash.
BA is no longer the airline it was and has moved forward. Each of us now has a decision to make and that is. Do we want to be part of it ?
