Dingbaticus,
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful post.
I feel optimistic about the future and I am glad that you seem to too.
Lets hope that all these agreements are upheld fairly by BA and we can all, again, feel that BA values all of us equally, even if some of us are more expensive than others; and also let hope that BA treats our Mixed Fleet colleagues fairly and allows them to have a fair and rewarding work/life balance too. This, them and us, divide has been very unnecessary and unfair on both sets of crew and lets hope that stops too.
I am not sure if I will rejoin the union, I will see how things pan out and think about it, it will all depend what kind of people inherit the mantle from DH and LM and what kind of rhetoric they come out with.
Thank you.
