PAX have longer memories than we think
Commerical sepuku is what this mindless action amounts to. Simple.
When customers of BA see the mindless ranting on YouTube, the lawyer telling them how much protection they have, and with their payscales in full view, there will be no sympathy from the traveling public who have a longer memory than many seem to give them credit for.
My outfit has its fair share of self-serving union followers in our cabins, and frankly Willie Walsh is right. There is a world of difference between flight deck and the cabin - recruit in the cabin for those who want to do the job, travel for 8-10 years, those who show the right credentials move onto management and training roles, and so it goes on.
I realize my view might not be popular in my side of the Pond or in the UK, but there it is.
If flying chick is truly BA Cabin Crew - then god help you all!
