there are a lot of crew out there that feel unwanted and not valued by their employer and this actually includes many that did not strike. So it will be hardly surprising if some choose Christmas to go sick!!
From the other thread.
Another sign of an otherwordly attitude if people believe that being paid 25 - 55 K is a sign of being unwanted, especially when you know that this is an unskilled job.
When will such crew understand that very few of them could earn comparable wages outside BA and that the quid pro quo ought to be that they do their current job to the very best of their ability and be deeply grateful that they have such a plum position.
I have to say that in spite of her protestations, Betty girl seems to be accepting of this ( sickness fraud), although when she sees that she is drawing some criticism, she changes from "..huge numbers of crew " to " a very few crew.... " go sick
