Good luck to you all, and I hope that your management will respond favourably to your arguments. I'll hopefully be travelling with you again in February, paid for from my meagre RAF pension (not a gripe). But, if you strike, and regardless of your pension plight, the majority of your customers will, IMHO, be less than sympathetic. But then, if you're of leander's and BigBrutha's mind, you won't give a damn.
