A Lurker,
You are right, my Manager confirmed some time back that you cannot be sacked for Lawful Industrial Action.
But that's exactly the question, how legal will the current Strike be?
Look at what BA did to our Pilots at the eleventh hour. I fear that Willie Walsh will come up with something. BA have done everything since they imposed the crewing changes. Hot desks, emails, letters to our home, freephone helplines and the rest. This is a company that has supported us every step of the way since the changes.
This time, BASSA/UNITE will not get away with it, that's my personal view.
I have just returned from a full flight on a 767 without a Purser in charge of the ET cabin, and all my crew who I was very proud of, coped admirably. See, it's not too bad on Eurofleet at all.
There are mixed reactions with most of the crew I work with, most of them do not want to strike , but will.
I as you know, Will NOT STRIKE. However, I really fear for the young crew.
