Ranger, spot on.
The ONLY time I've EVERY felt intimidated at British Airways is RIGHT NOW.
I'm preparing to leave home for a trip and I'm nervous about it. HOW DARE anyone make me feel like that. I shall keep my head high, though, for my pride in having come to work is stronger than that 'fear'.
But I'm not now, nor have I ever been, scared of the company or its managers. I'm scared of (an absolute minority of) the people I'm going to be working in the cabin with.
Oddly enough I've heard of someone on the Crew Forum saying that they are scared of coming into work to work with strike-breakers.
That ANYONE should feel scared is unacceptable. I urge everyone - regardless of what side of the fence you're on - to report all B&H incidents.
