My cabin crew friends are absolutely disgusted at the company's proposals and cannot believe how little their skills are valued and as a result are hell bent on confrontation.The only way to avoid a disastrous strike is for both sides to reach a sensible compromise.As i see it the 2 sides are oceans apart and the company continues to pour fuel on the fire with the latest sickness propositions,giving the absolute minimum protection to employees,just not acceptable from a major company.it seems more likely than ever that confrontation is just around the corner.What a disaster for BA and its customers and the employees.I never,ever thought relations could reach such a low as this.
