I think everyone in BA sympathise with how hard it must be for IB crews right now. Believe me I have been in the same position in the very recent past. I am not sure what the agreement between BALPA and SELPA is but as a member of the former I certainly have not been informed. I fail to see how strike action will help the cause. Personally I will cross any picket line to go and do my job and protect it. BALPA are sometimes accused of being in the companies hands but no one wants a war and compromise is required on both sides. Maybe my view is to simplistic and I certainly won't know all the facts, but what I do know is its a crap situation and the current course won't work.
