I feel it is totally innapropriate to post a small section of what BASSA actually published. Below is the FULL version!
"It transpires at SEP on the first day, BA have now introduced how to
interact and socialise with the "Pilot community".
The session includes pre, during and post flight interaction, you will now
be advised it's inappropriate and bad mannered not to include everyone on
the crew and pilots whilst socialising in the bar or dinner down route.
Isn't it remarkable that grown adults see the need to use up resourceful
time in SEP to enforce socialising with each other. Will they also offer
to pay for our lobster and brandies whilst out dining?
It is a shame a large swathe of our flight deck "colleagues" didn't
consider the long-term impact when they volunteered to do our jobs while
we participated in legal strike action to protect our futures.
Remember you are under absolutely no obligation to mix with these people
if you are off-duty and, if managers continue to be oblivious to the utter
disgust and contempt at the back stabbing and betrayal that went on last
year, then quite simply they should not be managers of people."
"These people"? My bold... Perhaps it hasn't occured to them that pilots often prefer to not go out with crew as there is this assumption that pilots should buy a round - totally ignoring the fact that in BA many crew earn more than many pilots.
