Re: BA pilots 'prepared to strike'
Interstingly, there are rumours afoot that Alitalia pilots are contemplating a walk-out over the very same grounds. Mind you, it that happens there is a very real chance there'll be no work to return to.
Cabin Crew with SAS are also mulling some sort of action over the hiring of approx. 50 Chinese CC on roughly 1/5th the wage of a Scandyhooligan CC member. The CC Union is calling for them to be on the same terms; SAS says they're based in China and thus different terms apply (or something along those lines).
