SCCM

There should be no worrying consequences from standing up to militancy. They have their opinion as is their right, and no non-striker will intimidate them. The reverse should and will apply too.

I was discussing the issue a few days ago with a crewmember who was afraid of any consequences if she, as a no voter, was 'outed' when flying with a pro-strike CSD.

I said she should then come to the flight deck and explain her problem. It seemed to be a strange concept to her. That is an important part of our job, to deal with this sort of thing. Unfortunately neither IFS nor Bassa are keen to emphasise this role of ours on board or down route.

We can, and will, take appropriate immediate action against any cabin crewmember, including the SCCM, who behaves in a manner liable to adversely affect the operation of the crew. No-one should hesitate to speak to us, if only for advice.
