Nuigini, thanks for your support.
When talking about destination payment, it's especially the ex-LGW routes that wind me up. Why on earth is destination payment necessary on these routes. Also, WWLGW (as it was then) got destination payment for KIN. No chance for us. I know someone will come on here and harp on about how we agreed to it, and it's our own fault, bla bla. What I've been trying to explain for a long time, is that when it came to the vote ('06) WWLGW as it was then voted a resounding YES to everything, as it was an easy way out of LGW for them. Most of us EFLGW who've been around for a long time voted NO, but there you go. Rubbish happens and we deal with it and get on with it. No use crying over spilled milk.
I do firmly believe that (most) crew at LHR doesn't care what happens at LGW. I've met some lovely people, but then again, I've been told to my face, and I quote: "I can't be bothered putting you in Club, coz you're LGW". No word of a lie. Excuse me? What's that got to do with the price of cheese? Also, I've had on good authority that several "seniors" at WWLHR have agreed amongst themselves to make life for the LGW secondees as difficult as possible. Nice and professional - not.
I just wish we could all get on and all work towards a common goal, whether it's better t&c's for Everyone or just making the company survive. But the recurring blatant discrimination will stop that, because people are ignorant.
For the record, I do love my job, I feel lucky to have the job I do have, and I can't imagine what else I would do for the forseeable future. I just don't agree with discrimination and preferential treatment.
