....and striking will certainly help many - just you wait and see.
Yep, totally agree, it will help the junior members and those who value their job gain more respect from their peers by not going along with BASSA's ill advised action. Those involved in a strike will, probably, find themselves being shown the door to the job centre.
As to LGW, my personal opinion, is that LGW crew work harder, are more cheerful and better to operate than many of those at LHR. How they can fly in the face of BASSA by having the audacity to operate a full 319 with only 3 crew is beyond me!
