Hi MissM,
Although I don't often agree with your point of view it is nice to hear it
I'm sure lightbulbs will be happy to have some support
I only know two CC. One working and one striking. One at LHR and one at LGW. Easy to work out who is on strike perhaps! Both great people though.
I flew back form BOM during the stike. There appeared to be a few VCC on board but there were also working crew. The CSD appeared to be acting up a grade. I talked to two of the working crew and thanked them for working. I appreciated it. Both were nervous about striking crew returning to work but felt that the Union was leading them down a dead end. They felt the current economy would mean an end for BA if the strikers grounded your airline. They were working to protect their jobs and their belief, in their future, was as valid as any strikers.
I felt sorry for them. I have seen first hand IA get out of control in the mid 80's. Rancour and a fraught return to work. You do not want this at BA. Don't you think its a bit unfair to single out those who worked as being responsible for the unwinnable situation you are now in. IMHO it appears to be Bassa who got you into this mess. You and other strikers should be demanding answers from them. Anyhow, good luck to you and heres hoping that all at BA have a future to look forward to.
