Another great day yesterday; it really seems that the morale of the airline as a whole is at an all time high. And so many flights now listing as
'FULL CREW' too, it's really great to see On just about every flight I saw there was a dogged determination by all, crew, engineers, TRM's and ground staff to get each flight away ASAP, again with smiles all round. And what a different spirit we are all seeing in the CC that are operating, no matter what the mix of full time CC/volunteers actually is; genuine professionalism and warmth towards our customers. These guys and gals put the rest 'out there in Bedfont' to shame, and that is the opinion of most ground staff and pilots alike. (Not to mention our customers!!).
Whatever you care to call these BASSA 'martyrs' out there on strike, be it Lizzy's Lemmings, McCluskeys Morons or what, this airline has been a far better place without them. If they can't see that they are being used as pathetic little pawns in UNITE's grand political game, then they are even MORE naive than we all thought. (If that were at all possible). Not a SINGLE valid point has been registered by the 'pro-strike' lobby, NOT ONE. They 'aint getting #15 back, ever, so why don't they all just deal with it. The ONLY people who wanted to reduce their wages and change their T's & C's were their own ****ing union. Oh, and now they have cost them their staff travel too ....duuuh!!!
This is a general message from most of us out there, the rest of the airline: 'When you come back to work, you are going to see a rather different airline to the one that you are used to, and when you decide to walk out the door again, well maybe it's a good idea to just keep walking'. Oh, and PLEASE stop complaining about the loss of your staff travel, you were warned, and warned and warned again. You all should of thought of that before you decided to be walking through Bedfont'. Don't blame WW, the LT or the airline as a whole, blame BASSA/UNITE/KGB. If some of you DO decide to see sense, and have the courage to work through Len's next planned debacle, then you wll be welcomed by all with open arms.
And now your UNITE masters are levying all union members to raise money for your 'crusade'. The general response to this last straw by a HUGE number of staff is to cancel their UNITE membership and tell the union to stuff their membership up their yashmak!! This is happening people, they are leaving in droves.
Oh, and I'm pleased to report that there are still NO broken CRA door locks in the cabin log, funny that these reports have completely stopped since the strike began.... food for thought.
I just saw the YOUTUBE video; what a bunch of morons. If the CC that are working are 'Scabs' (a scab is protecting a wound from further damage, and speeds up the healing process) then I guess we must assume that the strikers are..... FESTERING SORES. (Now there's a chant).
