THE BLAME GAME
Q TEE is perhaps the most pompous,self important individual in this entire forum.I would be interested in having a conversation with her after she has been on the LHR base for a year.
TWIGGS is correct.....the base has been brought about by flight attendants themselves(albeit originally through the FAAA)
1.In EBA 5 the FAAA to agreed to the establishment of offshore bases with a cap but no date limitation.
2.EBA 6,amongst other things,accepted the expiration of the cap.The EBA was voted on and accepted by a majority.
The industrial relations initiative was lost by many individuals voting naively in the affirmative(the yes vote)for EBA 6.This forum would not exist had the vote been NO.Unfortunately circumstances also worked against a different outcome with the advent of SARS and the Iraq war.During periods of uncertainty we make more conservative decisions.In this instance we will live the ramifications for years.
We the(the rank and file) members of the FAAA made this decision and we will now live with consequences.
There is no one to blame but ourselves!
