Collective Bargaining

Yes, I am a bit of a KM fan, as I use the airline regularly and they look after me very well.
The cabin crew were taking industrial action and as a result no hot or alcoholic drinks were served on KM flights for about 3 weeks, which was insane in my opinion.
However, relatively normal service was restored about 2 weeks ago and the only disruption (as of 5 days ago) was the cabin crew union directing their memebers not distribute the Times of Malta newspaper, as they allege it will not print their press releases.
This action, in my opinion, would be worthy of ZANU PF and does the union or their members little credit in my view.
KM is a mediterranean airline and in common with others in the region service is inconsistent, varying from superb to acceptable, I am describing the Club cabin, since I only fly in that class and cannot comment on the Y product.
Air Malta has a small fleet of A319 and A320, which are young and offer similar accomodation to other full service airlines. Seat pitch seems similar to BA and LH.
If I were considering the Gatwick run, where BA use their famous thigh grabber 737s, then IŽd take KM every time, even though Jetset Lady and her colleagues at BA offer a very good service.
KM have looked after me well over the years and the advantage of a small airline is easy access to senrio people, when necessary.
The corporate section head, RP, is superb at his job.
