Great in theory, but the RAF firefighters are all tied up on the streets at the moment. ( I wouldn't have thought that the Army and RN firefighters would be able to cover the airports - although correct me if I'm wrong ).

Loads of the forces guys and gals currently covering the strikers have only just returned from overseas tours in the Gulf or Balkans, without leave.

I bet they'd love the opportunity to strike given their meagre wages and dangers they face !

I'd like to see the strikers ( although I agree they do deserve £30K - I just don't agree with the strike ) sent out to cover for the forces in the Gulf and line-up against Saddam !
