What deal did the crew want ?
One problem we have is that we don't actually know what the union went in asking for. Each person as an individual has an idea of what they want out of the pay deal, but was this what the union asked for. For all we know, the company have met all the demands which the union made. They may not have met the "demands" of each individual cabin crew member, but that's really never going to happen.
There have been some very eloquent posts on here over the last day or two, particularly from Kasual Observer, which make some very good points which we as cabin crew should listen to and take in to consideration. There have also been one or two people, who whilst probably having valid points, have tried to get their point across by making derogatory comments - all this does is get people's backs up and stop them listening to what is being said.
