.....ooohhhhhh, i'm sooooo scared....!!! Couldn't care less if they try to fire ALL of us. Wonder why they didn't do so in 99...?? The reason is....they CAN'T. If you aren't fit to fly, then you have a LEGAL responsibility to book off. You don't even need a note from a doctor for 3 days or less. The company has NO WAY to determine those who really are or are not sick. THAT is WHY they are so desperate to find a way to combat the threat of mass sickness. Needless to say....there isn't a hope that they can aviod hundreds of us not turning up for work in the coming weeks. The threats, intimidation and general boorish behaviour of our management is something we are no longer concerned about. We are ALL thouroughly sick of the way we have been treated, and we are ready to show just how fed-up we are. As the AOA has stated, ANY officer who is fired will have to be reinstated before ANY settlement is reached. In the meantime that officers salary will be covered by the AOA. More to the point, the company can't fire anyone who calls in sick. Remember, in 99 there was concern that they would fire dozens of us. How many did they fire.....ZERO......why, because they COULDN'T. The threats don't work anymore......either from the company, or the small minded individuals on this forum. Roll on July 1.
