10/28

10/28 you are completely out of order. We are, I sincerely hope, not in the business of trying to inconvenience our customers - the airlines and their passengers. Our grievence is solely against our management and their allowing of staffing issues to get out of hand.

We are not on strike (yet).

We may be voluntarily not attending for extra duties on our time off. If this causes disruption it highlights our staffing shortages. We do not need to militantly try to cause further disruption.

Refusing to allow an aircraft to land and forcing it to divert when it is overhead its destination would cause needless upset and cost to all those on board. In terms of safety it is a wrong thing to do.

I stand fully by the person who allowed this aircraft to land and I would have done the exact same myself.

Don't get distracted by individual decisions. Remember what and with whom our problem is with.
