Taking strike action is against the ethics of cabin crew. But we have families, mortgages and bills to pay - we cannot afford to lose £7,000 a year.
We don't want to disrupt the travel plans of our customers, but Willie Walsh won't listen and so industrial action is our only remaining weapon. We apologise to our customers, but the blame lies with those at the top.
We know there is a recession, but Mr Walsh has thrown away the company's money on price-fixing and cargo cartel fines, and on setting up the Open Skies business airline in a recession.
He needs to be held to account and not expect crew and customers to repay the money he has lost the company.
