The rumour on the streets at work (BA) is that both TW and DS are retiring sooner rather than later thus leaving the entire running of the show on the hands of Looney Left Wing Len McKlusky who romped to victory in the elections securing a massive 14% of the members support. Just goes to show how bothered the other parts of Unite are about their new Leader. A socialist who hails Hugo Chavez and the state running of all major industries as his drivers he is well placed to direct the 'bruvverhood' to the Dole Queue as this is exactly what he achieved, with the help of Derek Hatton, to the dock workers in Liverpool.
As to those passengers wondering about flights during strikes. From my perspective (flight crew) I feel that the company will be running the vast majority of both LH and SH services. Perhaps with slightly reduced frequency on the busier routes. Be aware that there are thousands of good, hard working and professional Cabin Crew who have left BASSA over this mess and many who never joined in the first place. They will be working. The Volunteers will be working. Those of us that take pride in our company and product will be working.
So, we'll do our absolute best.
