So what impact will the announcement of our schedule for the week end have? The complete schedule being flown by BA metal at LGW cannot go unnoticed by Unite surely?
Indeed, typical BASSA tactics/reaction to try and say that the LGW operation is being sold off!!
So I just wander if those waivering and rostered for this week-end will take time to really think about what has been announced. The schedule contains no phantom flights, they are all there for people to see and book onto.
I foresee that we will be able to stand up a number of flights from freighters into commercial operations on top of what has been announced as I know that the assumptions of crew numbers upon which the schedule is based are very conservative.
I just hope that crew will take time to think that this is real proof that the strikers are in the minority and not the other way round
