MAGGIE HAD THE RIGHT IDEA?

Wasn't it Norman Tebbit, Maggies r/h man that led a BALPA/BA pilot's walkout in the seventies?

I would take BALPA over Amicus any day. Look at the pilot's t&cs within BA.

As someone in a previous post said. It appears fine for pilots to withdraw their labour when THEIR t&cs or pay is threatened but stuff everyone else!

Oh and please don't fall for the media/Eddington clap trap that this is all about swipe cards and clocking in/out of work. It isn't, and anyone who has been involved with industry/workforce negotiations will know that nothing is ever that black and white!
