The cabin crew did have changes ( crew numbers reduced) and made savings for the company and also all new crew are on different terms and conditions.
Betty girl, only partially correct. All the changes/savings
had to be forced by BA -
none of this was done done voluntarily or with any modicum of adult behaviour on behalf of BASSA. You make it sound like it was a gracious deferment on behalf of the cabin crew - it very obviously wasn't!
On the other hand, I, and many others, am very disappointed with many of our pilots who interfeared in our dispute by volunteering to do our job. Perhaps they should have thought twice before deciding to cross the line.
Pilots? MissM, you fail to mention that the
vast majority of those that became volunteer cabin crew (VCC) during the strike periods came from elsewhere in BA. What is more, most of those VCC were also members of Unite, in other trades (engineers, etc). Perhaps BASSA should have thought twice before embarking on a doomed-to-failure hissy fit. But thank you for highlighting the major problem you really have with all this - you just don't like pilots!
