Villan,

You are saying that I am not considerate. I am considering BOTH those who would be INCONVENIENCED by a strike AND those who will lose 30% of their income without it.

You have been implying that those who do not agree with British Airways management are wish people a bad Christmas.

I certainly wish TAM and her daughter a Merry Christmas and whether there is a strike or not I pray that they will get together. On the other hand, coincidentally, I have recently been informed of a 30% drop in my contracts for next near and the prospects for replacing that income do not look good.

I wish my problems were as trivial as an airline strike. But I'll suck it up and appreciate what I do have. On the other hand I won't begrudge those aircrews what little leverage they do have in trying to hang on to what they have.
