Gonna have to jump to Miss M's defense a little here and say that, following the strikes, some of the BEST crew I worked with were also some of the most militant.
The majority of us, regardless of what side of the fence we're on, do love the job and love looking after the customer. Those customers will suffer if there's a strike - such is the nature of the beast - but when not striking even those who have been following Bassa's misguided advice from day one are keen to leave these issues off the aircraft.
