Well said twisted!! We need to be united here. As the very first post on this thread says, The moderators will forgive me for opening a new thread, but I cannot stand the fact that BA love us to feel like two (or more) companies!.
Glamgirl, I understand why you're wondering why we are making a fuss over losing a purser off the 747, one of the reasons is that promotion on our fleet comes around once in a blue moon (with my date of joining, I am looking at 10-15 years), so losing a purser off that aircraft would leave less proportion of pursers needed on that fleet, so would prob have to wait for another 5 years on top of that.
I know that the CSD position is seen as a none working position, I can count on one hand (when we still operated all 9 routes at LGW) the CSD's that didn't help with the club or W/T service, esp when we operated that flying caravan that is the 3 class!!!
Don't forget, LHR EF, LHR WW and us guys at LGW WW were not actually balloted by any unions to go on strike over the t&c's now being endured by SF LGW. If a balloted had been actioned, I personally believe that we would have voted in favour of action.
I love my job and I enjoy my current t&c's as it allows me to live my life the way I am happy with financially and I would like to carry in doing this. If things change, I will have to reconsider doing the job I enjoy so much.
