WTF Sorry to hear the facts, it's always good to hear advice from someone who has actually seen action. I don't think either side comes out of IA triumphant.
Also with BA's share price in spiral dive AA could repeat history with us!
The BACC aren't taking us blindly into action. All the usual posturing has been exhausted, the threat is real, BA won't back down until it starts to bleed profusely. Support is currently strengthening on every BA syllable. BASSA, the cc union, is likely to come on line soon, with their own issues but to include OpenLies now.
BA will have to have a very clear vision to justify frittering 10 years of OL profit on a strike. Remember they do not take risks.
I don't want to go looking for another job but if circumstances dictate I am not frozen with fear over the thought. Something will come up, it has in the past, it will in the future. I know I am marketable, I have faced a similar situation before when I was in a much weaker situation. I also flew with a 49'er and they've done just fine. I am not prepared to prostitute myself for one of the Worlds richest airlines, despite my pprune handle, I had to do that to get here! That's why I so strongly support pilot unions, if you don't stick firmly together the leaders of this industry will abuse you for their gain.
I have absolutely no worries over the motives of the BACC.
