[QUOTE]and IF BA Express was created, to fight to get the T&C to BA levels thant to just give 24pp away for nothing./QUOTE]

If BA Express IS created (it will be if the NO voters win - it is all about unit costs) then the 24 pay points are given away completely anyway. Never mind 34 pay points. The BA Express T&Cs will be in line with Iberia Express - 35k (euro) basic with 3 pay points and 5 years between each one. And it will have plenty of applicants perfectly willing to settle for far less than we hope to secure with 34 pay points. How does anyone propose you fight to get back to where we are now from such a terrible starting position?! We could spend the rest of our careers on strike - it would make no difference. Just voting no and waiting to see what happens next is pretty much the same as pretending the world outside a legacy cockpit window isn't happening - it is, and we can either adapt and move with it or look the other way and hope for the best.
