Thanks Mr Bunker - in fact we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone that has emailed their support and offers of help. Unfortunately we are now getting overrun and we have to dedicate our time to replying to the cabin crew wanting to join, so we are unable to reply individually. We are extremely grateful, and it makes us even more determined to continue.
Regarding the False Facebook account, here is the letter we have emailed to our members:
Please be aware that there is now a false facebook account saying that we are being funded by BA. It is not true, and we have logged a complaint with Facebook. Why would we spend the outlay on launching a website, and then say on Facebook that it was funded by BA? The truth is we have no funding, nor do we need any at the moment. The website is our only outlay at the moment, and we have shared the cost between the founder members of PCCC. Money well spent it appears.
It does however show the levels that the Union and the militants within will stoop to, to try and discredit us. Their time and energy would be better spent on negotiating a better future for all cabin crew. Money not so well spent, we think!
On a brighter note, we are being overwhelmed with emails of support. Your word is spreading, and cabin crew are contacting us continually. We have also had offers of help to create databases, design a logo, print cards, etc. Some are from people within BA, many are from interested outsiders and even customers. Their kindness and generosity is overwhelming. People are identifying with our cause, and are offering to help. That in itself must tell you that we are genuine, and that we have a worthwhile cause.
It is regrettable that our community is riddled with this type of childish and immature behaviour. It is that destructive attitude that is wrecking our community and now threatening our jobs. We are now receiving hate mail to this email address, and I hope that explains to you why we have had to keep our identity secret. We will not be deterred and we will fight on. The support and requests for information from Cabin Crew have made us even more determined to find a solution to this abhorrent situation we are all in.
Our objectives in all of this are simple:
We want to save our company, protect our jobs and to restore the professional image of BA Cabin Crew.
To achieve our objective we need as many people as possible to VOTE NO in the current ballot. A strike will achieve absolutely nothing, and will do more damage than good. So we need to focus on the strike ballot. When that is over, we will be able to work towards our goals of securing a better way forward for all of us. A professional way.

A better way to do business. A professional way.
