So your not that happy with Duncan that's because he has shown great leadership of BASSA unlike another so called union which starts with a B. Now I feel many of you have been upset by the fact that a deal is 99% sure to be accepted hard for you to understand that an honourable settlement has arrived.
Au contraire dear WWW. We are delighted that Duncan has finally shown great leadership and has admitted to the faithful that they have not won the dispute (see above). It must really have been a bitter pill to swallow, but swallow it he did. He gets a pat on the back from me (but not too hard, wouldn't want him to cough it up!!).
It's a pity some people wanted to get involved in " our dispute" and looked down to in the aviation world. I had the pleasure of hearing the comments of Air Canada and Lufthansa crew saying how brave we were to fight on and yes mention of our so called team mates let us down.
Well they're entitled to their opinion. Equally the lovely Lufthansa, KLM and AF crews I've chatted to downroute really didn't know much about the strike and cared less. It's certainly not stopped us socialising with them at the 19th hole! I know it's hard for the fundamentalists to accept but the BA strike is not a big deal. Few people outside BA care. It's just not an issue for them.
When will you lot understand that once we leave the aircraft we no longer want contact with your circle as you betrayed us beyond belief.
When will you lot understand that we just don't care? We flew through your strikes and had a great time with the rational crews who came to work. The idea that we want to spend our time hanging out with a bunch of deluded militants, listening to them whinge about how the whole world is against them is beyond ludicrous.
Maybe in 2013 a thaw in relations will happen to coincide with our original ban date expiration who knows. Well BASSA we are proud of you and all of the 7000 army who stood firm.
You don't get your staff travel back until you change your behaviour. You've got to take your medicine first. How was the champagne?
PS It was 5000.
