As an ex BA cabin crew member of some 40 years and now retired, I am getting increasingly angry about the actions of the Militant Tendency in BASSA, with their piggy masks and piggy thoughts. The interview with 'pig woman' on youtube, coupled with the battle bus rants and the parade down the Bath Road etc. has brought me firmly down on the side of Mr Walsh and BA. The woman has evidently not read anything sent to them through their company emails, indeed I know that many pro BASSA crew ALWAYS delete them before reading as it is 'Company Propoganda', for there is no way she is going to lose 40% of her income, and does she really believe BA are flying circuits with aircraft to 'keep the slots'???
I have always believed that everyone has a right to strike, (even if their union is acting like idiots in their negotiations), but as BASSA now seem intent on destroying both BA and Mr Walsh, I'm afraid my allegience is now firmly on the side of the Company.
So Mr Walsh, I hope you keep the Big Boots on and don't let the rants of the hardliners push you from your path. If you have to, sack the strikers, I am sure the rest of BA will support you, as well as the many loyal customers who have posted on this thread.
I did before today have a lot of sympathy towards those who took action over the last two weeks, but the reports of intimidation from returning strikers to those who chose to operate during the action I am hearing have changed my feelings towards you. I may lose friends after I post this on Facebook, but Guys, you are in the wrong and should be ashamed of yourselves!!
Rant Over from Oldflyboy!
