Self Interest..........????
An interesting point from the other place. Eddy made the point once in an aside, but did not return to it.........
If the largest part of the strikers are the on-board "supervisors" known in BA as CSDs and pursers, then IF they are all dismissed, (for whatever reason, and by whatever route) there might well be LOTS of vacancies and "promotions" for the non-strikers.
(As I've said in an earlier post, these jobs need to be changed radically) - but if BA do not change them, then the non-strikers now have a strong interest in 2 things...........
1. Not giving back the seniority for ST.............that "jumps" the non-strikers over the strikers in their ability to get cheap tickets and board the planes.
2. Getting the senior strikers sacked. Lots of promotions possible.
Ah, the delights of comradeship.
