Cabin crew strike
Having read their reasons why, I am simply at dispare. Why do they think a strike will resolve this.
The pension problem won't go away because they go on strike, nor will it help solve it, the opposite is more likely because of lost revenue. After all, why should the cabin crew get special treatment on their pensions ?
Another reason was the removal of the CSD from short-haul: Well, I personaly think CSD's on S/H is a bit of a joke, as is the CSD role in general to be honest. They simply aren't needed, all they do is reset the IFE, and for the no-doubt high wage they get, they don't manage a lot of people.
The removal of the purser's from the 747 fleet is not exaclty a reson to strike, and it shows by the fact that they have to combine all of these wants becuase they simply won't stand up alone.
Just remind the cabin crew of the fact that they've had a pretty easy time, no job cuts and not too harsh a pay cuts (if any).
