Strike1
You are missing a major point - the company is not trying to divide us. The fact is that the crew are divided - you only have to look at the overall number of crew who said no to the last deal in relation to the total number of crew emplyed by the company - its a minority. The company adhered to the demands of the union. They gave what they were asked for.
If you believe that BA did not suffer damaging effects from their numerous strikes, the you are very misguided. They also have the stronger brand, resources and pots more money in the bank to weather difficulties like that. A recent compensation case based on flights cancelled by strike is likely to cost BA millions. They can afford it. VAA cannot and to promote the myth that we can is foolish.
