What complete and utter bull. That whole post is so full of holes that it doesn't even deserve a reply.
No matter what facts are put to you, you will always pick and choose bits that make it sound like you know what you are on about. Unfortunately you do not have a clue....


Oil price peaking? - Fuel hedged 60% that year (so nonsense)

No Union has been smashed in BA. Although yours has been rendered obsolete.
LAX you will not get back (have a look at the savings)

Legacy has grown due TUPE options for BMI but you will certainly not get ANY growth organically. All recruitment will be in MF. So no promotion opportunities till kingdom come for many very able crew on Legacy.
Well done BASSA.....

Payment to work - £400? Well you are losing a normal flying trip so offsets the money that you are losing by not flying as a pilot (just). Although there are many stories about guys being stood down at report for duty as crew as FAR more Crew turned up during the strike.
In fact I did quite a few flights with a full compliment of Legacy crew during the whole strike period.

No the 15 commands (can't be arsed going through the ACTUAL construction of this) doesn't disadvantage guys seeking promotion. Because on balance there shall be more commands available for everyone. It's called a compromise agreement with everyone benefitting (just not 100% benefit).
Altruistic? Maybe. One Union? Definitely....
