sffred, spot on.

anger, resentment, hostility, determination, etc etc etc.

i see JR, chief at euroslave, had the audacity to tell the rest of his pilot workforce that he disapproved and found it unprofessional to discuss the pension issue on the flight deck

well jr here's some sample chat

q hows the wife
A worried about the strike

q hows the kids
a worried how their dads going to work long enough to pay their school fees and then die before he gets to see his grandkids

etc etc etc etc

i don't want to strike but faced with the alternative it will be the first time i've headed into work (2 stand on a picket of course) with a smile on my face in a long time.

whoops x 3 the reality is that ww and his cohorts have pushed me into a position were i really have nothing left to lose. possibly 20 years left and this is my little big horn. your desire to see me give up so easily for the reasons you have stated , whilst guessing the type of package your on, is the most depressing event in run of depressing encounters with BA flag wavers.

thank god your gone. your contribution to BA was no doubt long and i have no doubts that you deserve your pension. however the ceo, like you it would appear believes LOYALTY HAS NO VALUE. so i can only assume he wants me not to give a flying fig about any future but my own. he has told me that he expects me to lose so he can gain. i will tell him in a ballot that i will strike till there's nothing left to compromise over. since you don't give a hoot about the principle of people fighting for what they were promised i'm sure you won't care a jot that any knock on effect to you is an irrelevance to me.
