PiB,
I stand by walking past a picket line because I will vote NO for a strike if it comes to that. I won't support something I don't believe in.
I said I'd be happy to demote myself for a year or so, as it would actually increase my allowances. So more pay, not less (and certainly nothing to do with lining the sharholders pockets). Do you think it's fair that Pursers (and some CM's) earn less than Main Crew although they're in charge on board? Surely not.
