Sorry Comet but ramming housebricks into peoples skulls solves nothing! But thats not to say I disagree with your sentiments. As I posted on a similar thread, the BA management have to stay firm on this one, I also stated, as T5 has here, that no one in this industry is forced to stay put. What we are seeing here is the manifestation of the effect that LoCo carriers have had on the airline and handling industry as a whole, driving down the pay and conditions of ground staff throughout the industry. It led to me being made redundant twice in 6 Months! and there have been many, many more like me. These unions and the staff involved have to get real here. BA and a few other full sevice carriers are only now beginning to turn the tide, in my opinion its pure suicide to be even contemplating this action now. I think that these unions are wontonly mis-leading their members and could very well be in the process of escorting their members out of jobs. IF THERE ARE ANY BA GROUND STAFF MEMBERS ON THIS FORUM-FOR GOODNESS SAKE THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’RE DOING! It won’t be your Union reps that lose their jobs and you will playing directly into the hands of the LoCo moguls in bringing BA to its knees and thereby driving things down further. My sympathies go out to the poor old traveller…you know..the sucker who buys the tickets and pays the wages, I have sympathy too with the staff, but now is not the time, and if things are really that bad then do as I did and move on!
