The ground managers at bmi are going around telling their staff that the bmi pilots are not going on strike now and that if they (the ground staff) do then they'll all be sold-out to third-party handling agents within six months. So it appears the lies and threats continue! I wish they would just tell the truth as to what is actually happening. As far as I'm aware the bmi mainline pilots voted overwhelmingly (89% in favour) for industrial action and that right will be exercised shortly if the company do not come to their senses during the current negotiations...
