Monty Python
Anyone remember the Monty Python sketch about the Romans?
We could construct a similar sketch here. Imagine the bassa committee meeting......................Instead of the People's front for the liberation of Judea, it would be the Tomato front for the liberation of CSDs. (and remember the dismissal by Cleese of other groups of revolutionaries? - a bit like bassa dismissing cc89)
If I were in BA I'd construct a sketch for their Christmas party based on this.................
What have BA ever given us?
Huuuuge salaries - for the elite few of us CSDs, up to £80,000 p.a.
The ability to travel the world for free.
The ability to take our family and friends around the world for free
The ability to stay in Hotels that we as individuals could never afford to stay in.
Security of employment. There are 5 million people in the UK on unemployment benefits of various sorts.
Long Careers, when other employers of CC force them to leave when over 30.
Branch income - estimated to be £2 million and never independently audited.
Part time work whenever we want.
The ability to sleep on the job and be paid for it.
Access to cheap fags and booze
Access to future partners.
I'd better stop.
meanwhile, what have bassa ever done for us??
er, the ability to lose all of the above?............the ability of one of the 5 million unemployed to do our jobs on much lower pay???
Next sketch - the Spanish Inquisition sketch.
