I believe it is true as well ref Eu employment law, however much BA would like to replace its senior crew with less expensive MF newbies. Mr Walsh wants to turn BA into another Wal-Mart, a company renown for low pay, poor working conditions and strong anti-union policies. The only good thing about Wal-Mart is that working a 34 hour week, employees can expect to earn $17,874 per year. This is considerably more than BA will pay MF junior crew.
Yes BA may achieve a high turnover of employees from the Mixed Fleet, but surely that will be merely an indication of an unhappy workforce? Perhaps that is not a great achievement in a business where your cabin crew spend so much time with your customers?
It seems that there are some on this forum who have pushed a certain agenda along, and now they can see the MF is taking away their livelihood. A bit of an own goal I would say.
