Am i bothered,
Really, as if posting snippets of information from that self-glorifying nest of vipers that is crewforum on here is stooping to anything other than giving the real world a bit of a laugh. People who threaten one another over there if they don't stick to the mindless 100% BASSA party line because they won't engage in debate? How very adult. Frankly it's not state secrets and it provides some light relief. As for the reaction on there anytime BA squeak and a hundred CC warriors scream "speak to the union", it's outdated, and belies the inability of many to deal with anything by themselves nor without involving BASSA in the minutiae of everyday corporate life. Oh, and don't spin the hackneyed line that if you didn't go to BASSA, that BA would run you ragged - really, over every mundane little thing that you should be able to sort out in an adult manner with a BA manager?
Can it then really come as any surprise that BA insist on hard-nosed adherence to rules and regulations when your beloved union won't allow you any flexibility on your agreements? It's quid pro quo frankly. (Vis the character who complained about being put on a disciplinary because they couldn't be bothered to turn up for two InTouch days. "Call the union" was one of the first replies. Thankfully cooler heads prevailed and, for once, sanity reigned.)
Funny how there's a hundred chief executives on there, none of whom actually run the company.
Lots of growing up to do, regardless of the outcome of this current scenario. BASSA and the CC do not get to tell the company how it's run, we work for BA, not the other way round.
