Looking at the above posts I see that most people are divided about the actions to take if the threat is realised. Thats always the problem with ATC staff when the serious issues come up. If I was Mr. Baron reading this (and if he has any brains he will look at this site on a regular basis) I would think its worth taking a chance, because as per usual we are divided.
Look at the train drivers, they don't care about public opinion, they show a very united front and it seems to me they pretty much get what they want. The French?? Christ, they strike over anything and get what they want!
We don't. And when the serious issues come up we talk a good fight and when it comes to a vote it goes through!!! This has to be the time when we say "NO! YOU AIN'T TOUCHING OUR PENSIONS!!!"
We have to send a clear signal, and say do it by all means, BUT BE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES!!
UNITE!!!
Right. Rant over. As you were!
