Pegasus -while the faaa didn't have the balls to publicly come out and bag the setting up of the LHR base -they did in fact try to scare members from going by threatening to destroy their seniority.

so how are we to treat the 31 flyers heading north now ??
do we boo and hiss them for potentially underminng our conditions -or wish them well as the union was completely ineffective in stopping the off shoring of jobs?

personally I wish them well - some of the immature and juvenile behaviour I have witnessed from SYD based crew handing over to LHR based crew -actually beggars belief
talk about a bunch of sooks - these guys are meant to be adults -back galley legends - never bothered to go beyond R5 -but could run the company if they wanted to......absolutely pathetic - rather than pay out on a bunch of people who have taken up what they see as an opportunity -why don't these heroes vent their spleen on the union that allowed this to transpire -or else have the guts to make their feelings known to Management - the LHR crew (and there are some nice ones amongst them) are just the meat in the sandwich -but as is fast appearing on this post -many appear to be getting pissed off with SYDs attitude -and this sort of soldarity (not) will be helpful in future disputes.
