Amicus' Cabin Crew affiliate is Cabin Crew '89. I, and thousands of other crew, would not touch that so-called union with a 1000ft barge-pole. They tend to be in the habit of agreeing to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that airline management requests and/or imposes and resultantly screw crew over time and time again.

The only airline union to be in in the UK is BASSA (very, very similar to Australias FAAA i.e. extremely strong; don't take ANY crap from management; always negotiate the best terms and conditions etc.), but as this is a British Airways-only crew union the best bet would to be to join their affiliate: The Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU). They are very good, and the best bet to go for. Good luck.
