Eddy,
I don't agree with everything you say, but please keep posting. It is refreshing to hear from someone who a) is genuinely BA CC b) is able to present a lucid, non emotive point of view. Hope there are more like you out there, regardless of which side of the picket line they will be on come Saturday.
Discussion is the only way to solve this.
This has screwed up my Easter holiday (ST), but I can live with that. Just don't screw up my pension!
