My point RIMMER is that never mind the subject whether it pensions or terms and conditions. Flight crew are prepared to threaten strike action to defend their terms and conditions and have to a large extent been successful. Yes flight crew have moved with the times but had they had a weaker union they would be significantly worse off. Yet when another group of staff wish to defend their terms and conditions they are quick to critisize. Yes some of the cabin crew terms and conditions and agreements amaze me. But just because others have worse conditions why shouldnt they defend them. Soon we will reach a point that unless we are all on minimum wage we have no right to moan which is the point of view of the media when such action occurs.
Engineers have a reached a point of such apathy with our union that we will not defend our terms and conditions just moan about them. But that does not stop us from making observations or supporting our colleagues.
