Hi Rustle,

The whole dispute is completely linked with the introduction of Mixed Fleet, although Bassa called a strike about imposition...

Hi BG
Thanks for taking the time to reply, I can concede the thread title, but I don't agree (having read everything here over the year(s)) that the two things are linked other than by, er, "convenience" or December 2010-expedience
The "sick-note" diversion is an interesting twist as well -- is this more bullying by BA or what??
It is obvious [to everyone outside your union] that MF wouldn't have even existed, possibly ever, if some changes were made to archaic working practises: To now try and claim the moral high ground

Even those of us who did not strike are concerned about Mixed Fleets introduction firstly because of the affect it could have on us in the future and secondly because some of us are actually concerned about the terms and conditions these new crew will be working to.
is not only "a bit rich" (understatement of 2010 contender), but undermines any valid points you may have made... IMO.
