Just back from my trip to a Top Secret destination. In summary:
1. Senior Cabin Crew member had serious doubts about breaking the strike but for reasons various decided to come into work. As it turned out he/she was an absolute star and a credit the Cabin crew community/profession as a whole.
2. Rest of the full timers were top notch, worked their backsides off to cover their own work and keep an eye on the volunteers.
3. Volunteers - both the pilots and others - did their best, everyone got thanked by the passengers on disembarkation.
4. No aggro at all between full timers, volunteers and the operating pilots.....
Oh and a (legal) beer call thrown in for good measure as well, all on a night stop, with the vast majority of the crew turning up.......
Indeed the only p*****r today was meeting a member of the general public who seemed to think all BA flying staff were on strike......BA Press department take note.
Now, remind me again why we should invite the malcontents on the various airport roundabouts to come flying with us again?
