I have been bmi cabin crew for the last 6 years and have seen t & C's been eroded away for some time.
I am in full support of the flight deck actions, and regret that our union is not strong enough to join force with balpa on these issues.
The fact that the flight deck have been ballotted for strike action does not mean it will happen, we have tried to get our voices heard for the last couple of years but to no avail. It has always been put down to moaning.
Balloting for strike action is a simple indication that all are not happy and to make management come to the table and talk. This is all the flight deck are asking for. Management have refused to talk on so many occasions and imposes issues that are only beneficial to them, well enough is enough.
If action is the only way to go then i am in full support, especially if we get to benefit from any issues resolved.
