I think I've been a bit misunderstood... I think single fleet in theory is a good thing for us at LGW, it's the breakfast situation that bugs me about that one.
The point I was trying to make, is that no matter what the company hits us with at LGW, we don't get the back-up we need from the union (you'd have thought bassa/cc89 at either base is the same, but no...), nor have we had any support from our colleagues at LHR. Basically what I'm saying, is that if LHR crew are looking for strike support from "little brother" about your recent issues (rumours or otherwise), then a lot of us are thinking why should we? We've been trying to join NSP for years now (as after all we all work for same company doing the same job), but the union reps at LHR have been putting spanners in the works constantly. Also, we've had no support for all the changes we've gone through in the last few years (3 crew, fewer nightstops, etc etc). I'm not saying that all crew at LHR are like this though, I have plenty of friends up there, most crew at LHR are absolutely lovely and I could've gone up there 5 years ago, but turned it down as I like LGW (believe it or not). It's just the different conditions and pay that irks me, really. Sorry if I've upset anyone.
