Not the most intelligent thing to post on Facebook. Unfortunatly, I believe, that the Mirror found out about these comments shortly after they came to BASSA's attention. Part of DH's Guerilla war? A deliberate attempt to smear VCC's? Or just a coincidence?
Its sad that it has come to this. Comments that are probably born out of frustration at the length of industrial action with no clear end in sight. I suspect that these people were reported to BASSA by their own Facebook 'friends'.
This will only have an effect on CRM if people let it. You don't have to like the crew you fly with to exercise good CRM. This is a fact often lost on people. CRM is not about group hugs and constantly beating around the bush to avoid offending people. It is Crew Resource MANAGEMENT. It requires people to be mature (on both sides of the door), to communicate, listen, and respect one another. In an ideal world we would all come to work, forget about the IA and just get on with the job. That's not always possible though.
We are all adults (apparently) and should be able to work together. There may be tension and bad feelings because of all the IA but this shouldn't effect the ability to exercise CRM for your own saftey, that of you fellow crew and ,of course, the passengers we carry.
