Thank you, Mods, for having this thread allowing us carry on our discussions on the sidelines. That's much appreciated too!
From what I read they will raise 700,000 from 2 million members. That would be 35p each. Your stamp for your letter would be more (I think). I don't think too many would do the same as you.
I can understand that. To be completely honest though I'd think the same way whether it was 35p or £35.
The union, to prove a point, is seeking to preserve the outdated terms and conditions of a very tiny minority of BA crew at the expense of everyone else in the company, from pilots to engineers and on downwards. They're risking these people's jobs to do it too. It's not on.
Personally, I'd volunteer to be ****ed with the wrong end of a pineapple before I'd volunteer to hand over one penny of my hard-earned when it's being requested for a "Fighting fund" to allow a handful of people to trough it up and maintain their lifestyles at the expense of the many.
Rant over!
