Neatly forgetting that the dismal terms and conditions suffered by Mixed Fleet is a direct result of Unite/BASSA's lunatic behaviour in 2010!
Are they dismal though? I know MF crew who have left for other airlines and they each believe they have made a mistake. MF terms and conditions are perhaps dismal compared to the rest of BA crew, but not when compared to the rest of the industry. Had the legacy crew given some concessions without such a fuss, MF would not exist. However Unite walked straight into the trap back then and the rest is history. These strikes are costing IAG peanuts. There simply are not enough crew in this workgroup to force IAG's hand using strike action. The only question is how long is it going to take them to realise they were defeated before they even started? Unite should have known this, and almost certainly did. It has all just been a political game.
