It is now becoming clear what is driving this. Two years ago, some of the BA Long Haul council made themselves look fools by resigning over an issue - the 777 bunk affair. They alleged that CD went behind their backs and entered into negotiations with BA. What actually happened was that in an effort to move matters forward, CD asked the BA CC chairman (ex LHCC) if it would be worthwhile having an off the record exploratory meeting with BA. The Chairman agreed and asked his scheduling reps to come up with some ideas. MR and SM are now on the NEC and are seeking revenge.
IS - aka Captain Angry - is obsessed with the GS' salary and bores MAN FOs silly with his views; they are all delighted that they have been directed to LHR and no longer have to listen to him expressing his anger which has got worse since he became a rep. IS attempted to get the ADC to agree with his views on the GS but was not successful. MR and SM teamed up with IS to get elected to the NEC and the first two were successful.
JF is upset that his beloved Pensions Consultant has been given the heave ho and blames the GS. Despite being a nice chap, J has been stitched up by MR SM and IS who all have personal agendas to prosecute.
