Just to be clear, BA pilots went on strike over the "joint" pay claim last year, when both GMB and Unite capitulated at the first hurdle. I respect our colleagues and applaud them for what they're doing but we certainly don't owe them any apologies. We're simply following the guidance of our union.

I'd have voted labour last time round if we'd had someone electable at the top - thankfully we now do. I am sick to the back teeth of seeing CEO after CEO pocket millions whilst standing on the shoulders of their hard working employees who don't see a penny. Capitalism has gone nuts and it needs to stop.
