Oh Wow! Now BALPA's getting mud slung at it! This is most entertaining.
As an employee of said organisation, I find it very difficult to take issue with the points just raised by the Gypsy with the EnormousDick! Jolly entertaining stuff though!
One can only express complete astonishment that an organisation can value its cabin crew more than its pilots (and pay them accordingly), but this is the same organisation that introduces a new engineering spares system in August and ruins its good name through not employing enough low paid staff in the critical areas for the critical period (then doesn't have anybody's guts for it). Yes, for want of a 100 or so people, the operation at main base almost ground to a complete halt. And now 1000 services are chopped to Christmas. One can only express admiration.
