Just the facts please
Hi Merlinxx,
We are all in this industry together. What effects one of us effects us all one way or the other. Last time I checked this was an open forum to exchange ideas and educate one another. If you have an intelligent point of view based on facts then I would enjoy hearing it. By taking the just stay away bully mindset only validates my opinion of most airline union leadership in the past. Just follow us and dont ask questions. Ive seen first hand how that turned out before. When a person isnt open to discuss the facts then that says alot right there. Lots of travelers and airline employees inside and outside BA visit and read this forum regularly. This gives you the opportunity to state why you feel strongly about your position and let people ask questions.
That is how you educate and win public opinion as well as their support for your cause. Just acting like a bully doesnt get you anywhere. Just makes you look confrontational and foolish as if you have something to hide. If you have nothing to hide then you should welcome questions and verbal exchanges to make your point to others who may not understand your taken position. I have been reading both sides of this from the very begining and I have yet to see the specific positons as to what the strike vote is for other than protectionism of the BALPA organization. I have not seen any real valid facts regarding job security loss other than hypothetical situations. I would be very interested in hearing the facts behind your position and what your main concerns are based on.
