Thanks everyone - the support on here is tremendous. I guess isolated is the wrong word and I should have said I'm feeling apprehensive. I must add that I am not apprehensive at all about working through a strike - will definitely be holding my head up high then and will be very proud to work alongside all the other volunteers.
No, the only thing that makes me apprehensive is that the longer this drags on, the more damage it does, and the more likely we as a community are to get something significant (new contracts?) imposed on us. Bassa forumites are even advocating just that - adopt a "keep them in the lurch" tactic.
And Chico - thanks for the peace and love. It's working - well, combined with the G&Ts it is!!
I am BA cabin crew and this is my own view and not that of BA.
