I think SCOOBY is still forgeting that Unite proposed an acceptance of the last deal in order to regroup for the next set of talks in 9 months time. They did this by several letters to all members addresses and several posts on the Unite web site. Also all reps were taken of flying rosters for a month(like it or not)to attend all crew rooms. Between 13 reps they made sure that there were at least 2 reps at LHR between 7am and 7pm every day of the month. There was also atleast 1 rep at LGW every day of the month and a rep attended MAN for a week untill all MAN crew had been advised.The base was also covered.
You seem to have some problem understanding the effort our reps make. I believe that comes down to an attitude that is saddly prevelent in the pilot community that says all things cabin crew will always be inferior to all things pilot. Its a prehistoric attitude but none the less it is still there and until it is gone completely there will always be a devide. You will never fully understand what is or isn't important to cabin crew and so you will never understand how our union negotiates.
Also, as long as large elements of your pay are based on profit cabin crew will always find it hard to believe that your advise comes from the heart and not the pocket.
