BAengineering.....no not at the moment and I have never had the dubious pleasure of a visit to Waterworld, I prefer the real world. I am not management thankfully. I have seen previous strike action and everybody gets going with the hope that the threat of strike action will do the trick but when push comes to shove there is not the same enthusiasm. I just do not think that a majority of people with mortgages and families would want to risk it especially as this strike has been deemed illegal by BA and there is very little response on the BALPA side at present. I really do hope BALPA will do something beacause it will be bad for all workers if and when the precedent is set by BA.
Hi Right engine, I am glad you have made provisions for your IA but you will obviously have to pay this money back at some stage along with the use of your savings.....are you really going to risk insolvency. How long do you think it might take you to get another job if BA boot out all the strikers? I hope for your sake it will not come to that. £20k is not alot of money nowadays. Good luck.
