Yeah nice one BALPA, you have

secured a commitment to look at the terms and conditions
... because of course when a big company promises a union that they will "make a commitment to look at" terms and conditions of some exploited group of workers, that always comes up roses. Doesn't at all stink of doublespeak for "we'll successfully fob you off for a couple of years until you come whinging about it at the next round of negotiations at which time we'll promise to do it again".

Whatever is happening at BA, and I do applaud them for not going down the pay-to-fly road, but it's a securely established profit centre at the lo-co's now and their bean counters will not give it up without a great deal of kicking and screaming.
