Well, tomorrow's the day the Flight Attendants at CO vote on whether to take strike action or not over proposed pay cuts.

I can understand, and sympathise with, their frustration - all of us in the airline industry around the world have suffered pay cuts and much, much higher workloads since 09/11!!! However, CO is still making losses (while my own carrier is well into profit) and CO's position remains better than any of the other US "Heritage" carriers. I sincerely hope that a compromise can be reached without industrial action to help CO turn the corner!!!

In the UK, the Continental ground staff have had their pay cuts now for nearly a year - a year whilst talks have gone on, and on, and on with the flying crews. Is this fair???
