Runway vacated

The fact that (most) of you turn up to work when rostered?
I thought the point was to turn up at work whenever rostered? Except when a lawful industrial action has been called.

The fact that you have the worst sickness record of any group in the airline?
Perhaps that's because we have a strict guideline as to when we can and can't work? It's not very clever to fly when your sinuses are blocked or go to work when suffering from gastroenteritis as you are dealing with food.

It's a bit different when working on the ground. No problem whatsoever to sit at your desk in Waterside with a running noise.

The fact that many or indeed most of your members would rather stick rigidly to agreements than serve the interests of their customers?
Agreements which have been agreed to by negotiations. They can be changed.

Or the fact that, as a group within BA you have threatened strike action 4 times in the last 14 years?
Maybe that's a sign that things aren't really that great?
