I've been lurking here for, well a while now and finally decided to sign up.

Whilst I do not take the sycophantic approach of Glamgirl, I will not be supporting a strike either. I'm not a huge fan of WW but I do think it's a mistake to underestimate him as so many seem to. I think the time for a change of contracts and Ts&Cs is long overdue and the deal offered isn't a bad one at all.

I am however disappointed that so many take the "I'm alright Jack" approach and are all for solidarity yet think nothing of crew coming in on lesser terms and conditions.

On a personal level I'm getting sick and tired of pilot bashing. They're pilots, they get paid more than us. Get over it. In the same vein I'm also a little tired of the pilots constant bashing of cabin crew. I think when the dust has settled we'll see a more streamlined and cost effective BA with more industy standard terms and conditions for both flightdeck and cabin crew.
