I should have saved my post from the other board (for which I'm expecting any moment now a swift kick to my gluteus maximus) because it did refer somewhat to TightSlot's observation.
In its condensed form, its important for all of us, Crew, BA employee and SLF, to remember that if the BASSA difficulty is solved and if BA is placed in a position to look forward to the future, allowed to improve service and atmosphere, it will be because of the experienced, motivated, positive Cabin Crew members who chose to support their co-workers in all departments and work and lead through these strikes.
It would not have been possible without them and a productive future for BA will not be achieved without their experience and belief in their company.
