So sad to see that pure emotional rhetoric may scupper the chances of an improvement in the future. Can I point out the following.
I am with BA.
It is NOT as those on the outside percieve it.
I am actively seeking to LEAVE BA as many are doing / have done.
John Frohnsdorff is standing to oppose Darke simply to get him removed. He is proposing to hold office if elected for as long as it takes to hold another election to find a lasting replacement.
He does not wish to take ANY of the salary associated with the post.
He is giving up his valued and hard earned pending retirement to make things better for YOU.
Until another candidate is prepared to stand, I strongly urge you and all our colleagues to support him, or put up another viable candidate.
PLEASE see past you prejudice and deal in fact.
