It has been a surprise to many that the "mis"- use of social networking sites could cause so much trouble. But it has!
Even before the list of crew-trained pilots was being passed around there was evidence of serious, and widespread, bullying and harassment.
We have all been briefed during SEP and other training courses to be conscious of the unacceptability of certain behaviours, and to understand how b & h is defined.
Many crew may now feel too "intimidated" to post on forums and networking sites, but they simply need to be knowledgeable about what may cause offence, and what BA may deem to be unacceptable.
Most of my colleagues have been quite shocked at the personal nature of the attacks on BA and its executives.
If Bassa and its members had stuck to the facts ,and less to rabble rousing rhetoric, they wouldn't be in the mess they are now.
