SPARK of LIFEs,wonderful experience!!,can almost hear the Julie Andrews soundtrack!."Volunteers",such as yourself,however well intended ,Nigels doing ice & lemon etc have sown the seeds to many years of unrest.
Just back from a trip. Miserable, sour-faced steward wearing his BASSA lanyard refusing to make eye contact and just about managing to be civil. A consequence of the unrest perhaps? Well actually no. Said steward was noteworthy because I'd flown with him before and he was just as miserable and sour faced before this whole affair began. Moral of the story? This strike will make not a jot of difference to our working lives as the miserable, grumpy, chip-on-shoulder types were there beforehand and will be there afterwards (barring the ones who can no longer afford to commute or have been dismissed). The rest of us will get on with enjoying ourselves and leave them to sulk in their rooms.
