Gingertom,
Was it not BASSA who suggested some time ago that VCC would find their positions under threat by being not doing their regular jobs?
This is just more BASSA scaremongering which has not deterred any VCC from working as far as I know (I'm happy to stand corrected).
I'd just like to broaden this to all volunteers, not just VCC. Volunteers' work is dealt with in a variety of ways:
- gets done by volunteers on a part-time basis
- gets done by colleagues
- does not get done
- is delayed
All the above apply to myself (whilst I have been rebooking pax, doing crew support or wetlease hosting), lots of people in my position just do the best we can to get the urgent bits of our day job done in collaboration with our colleagues and then do volunteering to help prevent the strikers from ruining the company.
