I worked a trip with a mixed crew of volunteers and strikers myself.
Perhaps we are not as viscious as some posters on here suggest?
Unfortunately, whilst i absolutely agree with you that the majority of crew may not be vicious, there certainly seem to be some who are, and others who are not totally above blame.
In my department are 2 VCC who were called in at short notice to operate two of the recently repat flights alongside regular crew.
Unfortunately both of these people and the other vcc on their flights were deliberately and obviously given the cold shoulder by the rest of the cabin crew once down route.
Most uncomfortable. Fortunately the flight crew on both flights proffered the hand of friendship and invited the VCC to join them. (on their behalf i thank you for this gesture.)
Given the situation, that these flights were being operated for stranded customers, and VCC used due to lack of available main crew, you would have hoped that this kind of pettiness could have been avoided.
