Interesting thread...
Having spoken to those that have left and gone off to Bonny Scotland, they would have stayed if GB was worth staying for... but quite frankly... it isn't!
A few other points... yes, there is another Slippery Bill in the making, and yes, he is ex KLM UK and Go... I fear that he is in the running to amazingly be WORSE than the original slippery... god help us all.
Reality checks... don't make me laugh. I take it you are on the bus doing nothing as usual, whilst everyone else (737) is doing all the work. 'Proper and effective input from our union'... that is hilarious. They may put in a self-biased input, but they are truly far from effective... how many have given up their BALPA membership in the past couple of years. I don't think you are living up to your namesake.
As far as redundancies go... I know of at least three senior people from the 'office' who have been given their redundancies since Sept 11!
