Good luck

If Aeropers and it's members had more balls then Swissair would probably still exist...it didn't and started screwing the unions in the 80s...first of all the catering...created a new company and paid the workers 20% less...no one stood up for them...similarly Swissport...and a few others...building up Crossair - I was at a meeting with the chief pilot who was warned they would have a major accident...they had two...then they stopped our profit sharing and inflation pay rises.

Strangely the Swiss admired Thatcher who destroyed the British Unions and huge cost to the UK...They didn't understand why Britain had such strong unions...my explanation was ignorant, bullying management - which was why Balpa was strong in my days in BEA.
