There is no more place for militancy of the "old kind" in modern society.

A cohabitation between Conservatives and Liberals is enough proof of that.

On the CC thread there is already talk about sneer remarks by a CC who was on strike last time but decided to work this time to a VCC: "Don't give up your day job".....

It explains why WW needs to get rid of the militancy.

During the last strike the cc who were working were commenting on the much improved working atmosphere, the camaraderie on the flights, and that's exactly what BA needs in the long run.

The only ones who are damaging this camaraderie are the militants. Like vermin they have no more place in what is still a great airline.

So i hope the secondary aim of WW (after achieving the much needed cost savings which Bassa flatly refused to negotiate for a year) is to improve the camaraderie of the cc by sacking those militants where he can and not give in.

... one iota
