Keeperboy,
Interesting topic to start. May I ask what your feelings would be towards a revised EG300 policy, incorporating the fact that crew cannot, and should not, operate with certain conditions, which may well be acceptable to ground staff?
I believe that the unions will accept, and agree to, some form of revision to this policy. Firstly, because cabin crew sickness is still at an unacceptable level, and needs to be controlled/managed in a more proactive way. Secondly, with Mr Walsh soon to take the reigns, the community as a whole may suffer as a consequence of refusing to a corporate policy that, for once, is looking to address and control a situation that is being abused by a small minority. A minority of ground and flying staff I might add.
BA Boi - Please tell me why you so vehemently feel as though this policy cannot be applied to BA crew IF, as I've stated, it is amended accordingly to reflect the crew communities concerns? If you feel, as you obviously do, that you are above the rest of us mere mortals who work for BA, you are deluded my friend. I offer you an open invitation to come and sit with my department in the Compass Centre. I'll buy you a cup of coffee and explain firstly why we need this policy, and secondly, that we all work for the same company and should have the same goals. I am afraid your comments only serve to further anger us insignificant sicknotes on the ground, who contribute little or nothing to the buisiness!
