I was listening to LBC radio yesterday. A long haul stewardess called Barbara had phoned in to say she had voted for the strike on the grounds of safety as she considered working one crew member down was less safe and she would not be able to give such a good service to her passengers.
Barbara, it is not for you to decide what is a safe level of crewing. Also it is not up to you to decide the standard for the level of service to your passengers.
You also said that BASSA had been negotiating hard on your behalf for 9 months and had offered a solution which would provide even more savings than BA had asked for. Do you really believe that?
Your protests were merely self serving although you used them to attempt to portray concern for your passengers. You sounded very sincere, as though you really believed that what you were saying was true. Let BA decide what is acceptable to passengers and let BA run the airline.
This is not intended to be an ante BA cabin crew rant. I work for BA and have a high regard for the professionalism of many of our cabin crew.
