If it were Ryanair, BA would either have been liquidated as a poor investment or everyone would be staying in the local Formule 1 at Lyon on night stops. I don't see that, do you?
At the end of the day, this is decided, and I would rather get on with my colleagues and have a beer than argue this ad infinitum.
So long as the scales are treated the same and have the same inflation raises applied, allowances and pension contributions remain the same, along with all other Ts and Cs, bid line and credit hour targets, that will suffice for me.
