Some crew are in for a very nasty shock when they get their February payslips if they think they earn more money by striking.
Unite pay strike pay for the days crew go on strike.
BA deducts pay from the day a crew member goes on strike until they are next rostered for duty. Big difference.
And crew lose other bonuses for attendance etc. And they are losing out on a pay rises received by non-union MF members.
I wonder how many crew who went on strike in 2010 who couldn't contain their excitement at the prospect of strikes on MF bothered to point this out?
Also, back in 2009/10 BA made it very clear that the cost of industrial action would be recovered from the department responsible for it, so be careful what you wish for....
It is also beyond tragic that some are using this strike to replay the battles of seven years ago again in their own heads.
