If you read back through this thread over the past few weeks you would see an embittered inhumanity implicit in many of the postings which is quite frankly execrable.

As an outsider, I'd suggest your emotions are running away with you drew. And the market just loves emotional traders.

Just pointing out that no-one should take seriously the drivel written by people who cannot write simple English accurately.

Ignorance and stupidity begets nonsensical drivel. It is you sad incompetents who have no sustainable argument.

[alphorn] 08/6/2010 11:23

drew - you might be more convincing if you posted some facts rather than continuous hot air ;-)

[anotherguru] 08/6/2010 11:22

When you start to lose the argument you could always try attacking the poster, or their spelling and grammar.

An insight to Unite's financial position:

For 2008, the last year for which Unite has reported annual accounts it had an £18.5 million deficit. That followed a dive of nearly £20 million in the value of its investment and stocks and shares to £85 million and a fall in current assets of £10 million to £51 million.

Members' fees brought in revenues of £149 million but since then Unite's membership has apparently fallen by around 500,000.

So, if they have revenues of that size they must have one hell of a lot of expenses if they see the need to raise extra funds with the £700k cash call for this strike.

Unite don't see the need to post their financial statements on their website. Transparency is not one of their strong points.

So thick you cannot spell simple words like 'naive' or construct basic English grammar required at primary school. Shameful.

The only sensible course of action is to ignore or filter such yobs.

FWIW, many of the trader chavs in 'the City' which you seemingly so admire are even thicker than you with just as much clue about value creation, i.e. nil.

Well Unite have a fail on their vision:

"Unite's vision is of a prosperous society in which employers and employees work together to build successful businesses and safe, healthy working environments. All those who contribute to their success receive the rewards, respect and recognition they deserve".

Nul points.

Just under £11:00 a month subscription, reported to have 2,000,000 members = £22,000,000 a month x 12 = £264,000,000 income per year.

To a member it is only a few £s a month for peace of mind but they all add up to your unions advantage not to you as a member.

Do you have a luxury holiday, luxury detached house, luxury fully expensed car, guaranteeed superior pension and a salary of over £120,000:00 a year without other perks involved ?

No.

Why not all club together and withdraw the monthly union subsciptions and buy lucky dips on the lottery, you never know, it could be you and then their would be no need to strike and you can leave the job making room for new talented individuals who are customer and company focused.

Ideal solution solves everyones problems.

I see the looney CC supporters are out early today.

I remain short BAY on my investment evaluation but am saddened to see Unite trying to liquidate another British company.

When the Unions were broken a few years ago on the cross channel ferries on a very similar strike positioning the service increased enormously. I expect to see Unite broken on this strike and as I have posted before they have done absolutely no favours to their members. They are a disgrace.

[anony mous] 08/6/2010 09:49

LOL !
back to school boy.

I see the brainless BA supporters' club are out in force again here this morning.

You're banging your head against a brick wall trying to get this lot to see sense, however, exbacrew.

They have a collective intellect lower than your average 6 year old.

More to the point, all this macho bluster from Walsh is so much hot air. Money is pouring out of the door at BA far faster than it is coming in.

BA will have run out of cash in 12 months at this rate so all Walsh's bluster about sticking it out "as long as it takes" to break the union is empty rhetoric.

BA passengers are voting with their feet and seeking alternative carriers.

Woodley's probably having a continental breakfast ... a roll in bed with a little honey.

Unite is like an act that goes on Britains Got Talent and asked "were do you want to be in 5 years time" and they answer "world leaders"

Unfortunatly they would receive three XXX but walk off the stage shouting "you dont know what you are talking about we will be bigger than you"

You know the type of act, determined to prove they have talent.

[chancer] 08/6/2010 08:29

The only way I would sell all my shares, is if Unite won.

[jonc] 08/6/2010 08:23

Good grief.

lol.

[chancer] 08/6/2010 08:16

The only person I see out of control is "Unite" who have even tried yesterday to reach the shareholders by way of advertising in The Financial Times to try and "Scare shareholders out of their positions"

[exbacrew] 08/6/2010 08:10

No because they are what they are - they are Pilots and not used to dealing with the travelling public, these people have done far worse then the sacked BA Cabin Crew.

Do not believe all you read in The Daily Mail - this dispute is tearing the heart out of BA, Walsh has set his workforce upon each other and the animosity between working groups is horrific.

Walsh has allowed his customer facing workforce to be vilified by all and sundry in order to massage his own ego - the man is out of control as he is letting emotions get in the way of a resolution

[chancer] 08/6/2010 07:58

excabcrew - It is absolute clear without a doubt that "Unite" and its so called followers will stoop to levels in order to bring attention to the public to discredit BA and force them into submission.

Why would anyone who has volunteered to help break the strike and of course keep their jobs want to discredit themselves and BA by posting on social websites.

Insurgents maybe !

[exbacrew] 08/6/2010 07:44

chancer - you are joking arent you????

You think someone would buy a J class seat to try to set-up and provoke the staff????

People need to wake up to the fact that this is now totally out of control - Walsh could end this strike and get everyone back to work - his ego is preventing it
