It's important that we once again gain a little respect for our job. As we all know, we do our job because we choose to, not because we are incapable of doing anything else. We are, in the whole, a professional group of people who work hard for a reasonable (yes, on the new contract it's just reasonable) salary. Add to that the Christmasses and weekends we work, the birthdays and anniversaries we miss, and the total disruption to our rosters and loss of a large amounts of allowances in the ever-more frequent events of bad weather. I too am a no voter - but I want to be proud to work for BA and expect to be well looked after working in such a great company!
