deltaguy,
No need to bang your head against the wall. I am well aware that the action in my link was unofficial and therefore illegal. The warning was that if you are going to strike, make sure it is legal, or you will likely be sacked.
Unfortunately for you guys though, Willie will not leave you the option of a legal strike. This is the whole point I am making. Your union is backing Willie into a corner. He has no option but to escape from it, and the only way he can, will be to give you a bloody nose. Unfortunately, I am 99% certain he will not leave it there. If you dare to push him, he will break your arms and legs too. This is why I urge you all, to urge BASSA to start negotiating properly.
So many crew are telling me that Willie will regret having a go at the cabin crew, but I am quite sure the reality will be the other way around when the battle is over. I promise not to tell you "I told you so" though.
