Unfortunately Wirblsturm, you are not qualified to comment on the reason for the BA dispute with its cabin crew . However for your convenience, I have provided a link where you can avail yourself of the correct information, instead of peddling the usual "BASSA refused to negotiate" propaganda. For a mere £30 a man of your financial resources can acquaint himself with the facts, instead of living in a bubble of fiction.

BA's flight crew as I have already alluded to, would be far better off entrenching into longhaul to preserve their legacy pay and conditions. Shorthaul is finished as a career other than for hour building by junior jets.

BA's pilots should look to QANTAS to see what Willie has in store for them. Already BA's flight crew have seen the threat posed by Walsh, who cut costs by only allowing Airbus type rated pilots on the initial batch of A380's. Geoff Dixon the previous boss of QANTAS, threatened his pilots with JetStar flight crew flying the super jumbo. At the moment replacement CEO Alan Joyce is doing his best to remove the T&C's of QANTAS "brand" (aka legacy) pilots.

So the future is not so bright on the other side of the flight deck door. Whilst the two ringers were preoccupied serving drinks during the cabin crew dispute, they really should have kept their eye on the ball with the goings-ons at QANTAS.
