That's why BASSA is still here with 10,000 members
Why shouldn't BASSA still be 'here'? Unlike you most of us didn't see the cost cutting as 'destroying the Union'. The CC deserve recognition. Although now BASSA is more of a 'collective' than a Union with any real power.
Aporrizaje you'll see some posters on here change their outlook when cost cutting knocks on their door. I believe there's a lot more meat on the bone - BA pilots are still the best rewarded in the Uk and in the top 10 within Europe.
We've been through all of this before WW, and once again you fail to put any 'meat on the bone' as to what you think the savings are. The last time you plied this rubbish you were a 'manager' just returning from high level Waterside meetings on the subject. What are you playing at being today?
BA have rationalised. Pure and simple. In a mixed environment of SH/LH the pay base is market rate for the operation. If you are truely so obsessed with Pilot's pay then get your licences and have a look from the inside.
IB is only going through what BA has been through. It must make itself more attractive to investors. Madrid has great potential, IB needs to match it. As painful as the transition is it will benefit all in the future.
And wonker is still refusing to accept that the vast majority of the VCCs were from his own union UNITE.
The only pilot VCC's were sent home in the main as the vast majority of the normal CC turned up to work anyway. Those that worked were terrified of BASSA and their bully boy tactics. Rightly so considering some of the shameful lists and tactics that were employed after the action flopped.
