I reckon a work to rule will be enough at BA too. Management have admitted they rely on pilots working beyond contractual limits to keep the flying plan working.

And to keep our goodwill they are

- trying to remove a weeks leave from this year's entitlement

- pocketing hundreds of thousands in bonuses

- taking about 40% of my contractual pension to pay for said bonuses

- forcing people to report for work on days off to reach bonus thresholds

- threatening people with dismissal if they report sick

- leaving crew to wait on rainy tarmacs for a bus 'cos they dont get 'measured' on pick up timings whilst sending aggressive letters if you are 1 (yes one) minute late for your bus to the a/c

- tell half truths to the rest of the company about pilots entitlements to make sure we are split about the pension.

...etc etc.

All of the above are wholly true with no exaggeration. Please give me a reason why I should not work to my contract as a result. I will, of course, take stronger industrial action if my union requests. Ahh, the sound of chickens coming home.....
