I suspect this is going to be happening a lot.... People who went on strike the first time around will start filtering back in because they can't afford more time off. Yet because they went off work at some point, they feel they are better than those who didn't. They feel that ONE period of striking means they are a striker. But they aren't. One period, two periods, even three periods of striking become totally irrelevant when someone shows up for work.
We all have personal reasons for coming in.
But I challenge anyone - anyone - on one of my flights during a strike to have a go at me or anyone else I'm working with because they'd previously gone on strike but had to come back for the money.
