Let's get the facts straight
Some BA cabin crew are on strike, the word is some, not all. The % on strike is low. The remaining cabin crew do not feel they should take part or support the small % of cabin crew. That's their decision and nothing anyone from Doha can or will comment on. The reason for the strike is ????? Maybe you should try and find the exact reason for their (cabin crew) dispute.
No pilots at BA are taking or supporting any industrial action. That is their decision and nothing anyone from Doha can or will comment on. Had pilots at BA been striking, then this may of been a different story and your thread may of been relevant. The fact is their own colleagues are not even supporting them. Sad but true. The reasons I do not know.
Our crew from Qatar, both flight crew and cabin crew, are working as required on a wet lease contract. They are acting professionally and under unusual circumstances. To say they are doing a good job in such circumstances and short notice is an understatement. The amount of planning and roster alteration in such a short time scale has been achieved and the logistics undertaker to move both aircraft and crew is amazing. You only have to try and think about hotel accommodation alone and you have an idea of the vast scale of this operation.
Please get your facts correct before using such words as Scabs with reference to what is happening at LHR.
I have to say that what I have seen over the last few days from our crew makes me feel proud I working with such mature and professional crew members, from all levels including management all the way down to the local drivers who are transferring crew. A warm welcome is also being received from all BA ground staff menebers at LHR as well.
The passengers boarding our aircraft are thankful and grateful their travel plans are not being disrupted.
Amazing job done so far from all management involved in sorting this out and all crew involved in putting it into action. Well done all involved from the top to the bottom.
Comments made here on this thread referring to other industrial action taken at other times around the world maybe different from what is happening now at BA. This is Cabin crew from another company and only a small % of such who are not being supported by their own work colleagues.
As BA say, We are here to serve.
Maybe you should start a thread on another forum asking would BA staff be considered scabs ?
Move along, nothing to see here.
