fruitbat the contract that MF crew have joined is well published and people are clear what contract they are signing up for. The contract that people signed upto in years gone by was the contract on offer at that time hence why we have lots of anomalies within the pay structure eg people have certain benefits due to their British Caledonian contract, people having contracts based on their contracts as senior BA managers but redeployed to crew, Flight engineers who became cabin crew when the position ended etc etc etc. Why should we change our contracts ? BA is certainly not asking us to change our contracts and has said that MF will amount to 42% of the cabin crew community in 10 years time.
There is no competition at all. MF is the new BA cabin crew contract and is BA's way of cutting costs in the long term. It is not an attack on existing crew. The view you are supporting is the same as the one being submitted by the militant faction.
Please see the manager responsible for the routes and transfer of works comments today. She has been completly open and honest and does not support the point of view you are saying at all.
