Tony Woodley/BBC News

Have just experienced the benefit of Mr.Woodley's aggressive style of presentation and my blood pressure is sill on the rise. It is no wonder we have no settlement is sight. His style may be suited to the docks of Liverpool or the Gorbals of Glasgow, but negotiating with a sophisticated employer it certainly is not.
One thing that he has confirmed is that the dispute is now simply about ST and disciplinaries. My understanding is that the strike mandate is about imposition, SOOO has he left the union open to a further court challenge??
We also had the usual mixed messages.On the one hand they were making noises yesterday about cancelling strike action due to the ash threat, on the other Mr.Woodley was very definite that the strike would go ahead.
What a muppet!!! Let's suppose the strike goes ahead and the ash closes LHR. Strikers get no pay, BA saves money...strike action even more pointless.
A real indication of the muddled thinking even at the top of the organisation.
OK...blood pressure getting back to normal.
