With that remark are you referring to older Cabin Crew who have been flying for a good number of years and have a lot of essential experience under their belts?
No it is a reference to a mind set, the one that subscribes to the following views -
- My employer owes me a living on out dated termns and conditions irrespective of how the world it operates in may have changed
- I should cane my employer for everything I can get out of them
- I do not need to concern myself with how my employer makes a living
- It is my responsibility (and not the boards) to protect my employers brand
- I will resist all change
- I will blinker myself to the reality of my market value and obvious expendability
- My union knows best and will look after me
- I have no regard for my employer, fellow employees, associated businesses and the image of the country
To cite but a few of the issues at the core of this dispute.
Sadly the various TV images and BASSA promoted footage seems to confirm an association between the so called older crew members and the afore-mentioned mind set.
