An interesting post. I presume part of it was just SLF venting, but it speaks volumes regarding our role in this adventure.
As customers we see, every time this drama spins up, Cabin Crew defined in the press as the coarse image of a woman walking around with men's undergarments and Mr. Walsh's image on the seat, raging, screaming faces....threats of 12 days of Christmas, strikes over the Wedding, Easter...
And we are told constantly "Don't judge us all on that basis". "We are not all like that". You wouldn't know it from the message that is being sent. The Cabin Crew members that will stand up and be counted for SLF are few and far between in the media.
From a customer approach it is rather blatant regarding which section has the greater voice. It may be through intimidation, bullying, or whatever, but they are still the "face" of BA.
