Of course it is quite intimidating for a junior to be "interviewed" by a manager - it may just be a tactic to target those who were wavering anyway.
The naivety of those striking is once again quite staggering! Did they REALLY think they could spend a long weekend bad mouthing BA and then just waltz back in to work as if nothing had happened? There is no need for anyone to agree to anything, and a No Strike contract is certainly not on the cards, no matter how much BASSA might wish there was

BA will make them jump through several hoops before allowing them anywhere near a fare paying passenger, and for those strikers not rostered to work between strikes, this will be an expensive month. Their pay will be stopped from the day they fail to report for duty until their next "available rostered duty".

All those who have unopened emails from Bill Francis in their inbox on ESS, I suggest you open them sharpish. Then you will know exactly what is going to happen to you.

And kwateow, for someone who;s first language isn't english, you have summed it up!

The British Airways has a plan and lots of money. cabin crew seem to have not much plan and little money (house mortgage to pay....)

The outcome seems one sided, inevitable.
