When all this is over
There are going to be a great number of unhappy CC when this dispute ends - and of course the only "happy" ones still on full pay and benefits are messrs Woodley and Simpson. However, seeing the performance outside the courts yesterday and witnessing some of the theatricals of the strikers I can only assume recruitment has gone "downmarket". In the old days BA CC were considered the creme de la creme and they behaved accordingly. The old ones must be turning in their graves. I was fortunate a couple of years ago to sit down to a dinner next to one of the first Air Stewardesses on the Comet 1s. Well educated, articulate, charming and very much the "old school" How standards have dropped.
