Like i said earlier, i am not downplaying your role at all, It is one of great importance but in the grand scheme of things and compared to other roles it isn't that big a job. Yes the worst case scenerio is loss of life if it goes wrong but again thats the case in other walks of life. The issue that the CC who are striking will soon be facing is one of job losses, Six months to train somebody is not very long and with quite a few volunteer crew lined up CC are soon going to find out just how easily replacable they are, far easier i would imagine than the customers that BA will be loseing. If i was a Employee considering strikeing then i would pay close attention to the statement from Mr Walsh thats been copied on this forum.
