I believe that was sarcasm, not a true post from Mr. Holley.
Safety Concern:
Many individuals here that have no objection to, or actually support, the removal of Staff Travel from some members of Cabin Crew are no more biased than yourself.
Until such time as a legal authority says otherwise I expect the situation to stay much as it is at the moment.
You can personally believe that Staff Travel would have brought this issue to a close. I disagree, and the statements of Mr. Holley and others support my opinion.
Note that the return of staff travel was demanded as a "goodwill gesture" towards continuing negotiations. Agreement has been described as "close", but BASSA and Unite have both said they have issues remaining.
Strikes are serious business. I'm rather surprised that the militant members of Cabin Crew thought this was going to be some sort of painless procedure. Naive in the extreme.
