Tiramisu, Otter Girl, Mr Bunker and the rest of the CC who voted 'No' and are determined to keep the customer satisfied represent the brave end of the broad spectrum of CC within IFCE.
Equally brave but living in LaLa's land are those very few CC who will actually man (woman?) the picket lines on 22 Dec.
The vast majority of CC are those who believed BASSA/Unite's fantasy that by voting 'Yes' WW would resign and all would be resolved without a strike taking place. Lacking the courage of their convictions, they will phone in sick rather than face the public or cross the picket line. In 1997 only 230 CC actually walked out but 4000 phoned in sick and halted the airline for 3 days.
It is this middle-order that needs reassuring. If you are reading this, be brave, ignore the pickets, resist being bullied, turn up for work and have a go at saving BA, it's your only chance.
