Matt101,
Maybe I wasn't clear on that . Of course I accept that punters give BA revenue and in turn help pay their wages. And for that , during these times especially, they are grateful.
What I meant was the cabin crew do not owe the public a favour by sewing together everybody's holiday plans and performing a Christmas service just because it's Christmas. This dispute could have happened during the autumn but Walsh chose to string it out so that the ballot would occur now. That is not the fault of BASSA.
This strike was engineered by BA to afford cabin crew as little public sympathy as possible.
Yeah... good luck spinning it that way but it doesn't pass the smell test.
