interpreter,
BALPA has been talking for sometime. The option to go back to the table after the strong mandate was taken in hopes of a resolution. BA more than likely used these talks as a delaying tactic. We are out of options and it is time to show the company that quite simply enough is enough. The contempt that the company shows on a day to day basis to our customers and partners like yourself is a major source of fuel to the fire in our fight. We day in day out see the frustration of the people who pay our wages. Now BA want us to pay for it.
Line in the sand I am afraid, and the feeling is much deeper than our managers believe. None of this want this but it is what it is, and the fun and games are over.
