Creating "dodgy" and pornographic websites and linking them to PCCC/BA via google

Refusing to talk to the operating Captain, instead turning away and giving him the bird in a briefing.

I understand that the police are involved in some of those cases. Reinstatement would be made difficult by the loss of ones airside pass.

Unite/BASSA are asking the IMPOSSIBLE to ask Willie Walsh to just drop these accusations, which were made by crew themselves.

WHY DONT THE MEDIA PICK UP ON THIS INSTEAD OF LETTING WOODLEY AND SIMPSON BLEAT ON ABOUT BA BEING PETTY AND VINDICTIVE ????
Threats, harassment, intimidation and inappropriate behaviour (e.g. refusing to talk to the operating captain) should never be ignored or covered up or permitted. If they have indeed happened, shame on the union for supporting the reinstatement of the crew. If they are continuing to strike because of wanting BA to reinstate those who were proven 'guilty', I am really disgusted.
