For me what it really boils down to is my union asked me to strike. They would only do this if everything else had failed. I am on the new pay scale, have a !!!! pension and 14 years working for bmi before BA..so I know crap conditions... I value my My conditions so much and want to keep them and keep flying as a career a posiblity. the individual issues though I agree with most aren't the crux of the matter. BASSA needs our support. If we don't strike and the company percieves BASSA membership aren't really bothered BASSA will never be taken seriously again and there will be no protection for anyone at BA. and BA will be able to do anything. Surely thats bad news for all of us?
Guess I'm pretty more caught up in this than I thought. Bassa is no way a perfect union and I know gatwick have real issues which they don't feel are even priorities for the union. I can't really say thats not true. But can you imagine how much worse it could be without bassa?
sorry to antagonise everyone but I guess I love my job and want to fly for another 20 yrs but not if i'm always going to be just earning enough and tired . I've done that already.
