Guest Cool Thinker Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 It wouldn't be much of a strike if it was done at the most convenient time for everyone.Doing it now makes no difference First will still react the same, they don't care.

Scootray Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 It wouldn't be much of a strike if it was done at the most convenient time for everyone.I know that of course. But alienating the people that depend on you because you're feeling greedy for what, the 3rd year in a row, is just taking the piss. It's not Aberdeen unless there's a First bus strike at least once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 But hey, I've still got my car and I never use buses because they're shit, so it doesn't affect me, apart from maybe the increased congestion in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Surely after so long you realise it's tilted and it's only natural to adjust it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Aberdeen unless there's a First bus strike at least once a year.Spoken to a few union guys about this today and most drivers have chosen to strike because First are attempting to scrap paid breaks, which they've always had to make-up for their shorter working day compared to Stagecoach. Most drivers are actually pretty happy with the proposed 1% pay rise, or at least that's the impression that I get.Not really sure how that is "taking the piss." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cool Thinker Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Is she saying "Caution: This vehicle is reversing!"?I don't know what she is saying it is not that clear all I am hear is 3 unusual beeps that not usually heard and then she says something I have only been out in it once with someone and they heard it as well and that is miles away from where I usually hear it. I think the person is repeating theirself. No vehicle in sight and every time. I hear it gets louder.Only heard at night, I have tried googling it and have had no luck next time I hear it I want to go out in it but I am afraid It may be aliens or the apocolypse. There is nowhere for it to come from except the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best defence is to shut down any broadcasting electronics or anything with wifi. Stop using your broadband, PC, mobile phones until the coast is clear.

Skubbs Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I am pretty confident that it's nowhere near that. Their basic salary is less than Stagecoach, which isn't even £19k.Well, it certainly used to be less than Stagecoach. I could be wrong. I would be completely shocked if it was £25k given what Stagecoach pay. Apparently (and a few bus drives have confirmed this) many drivers go to Stagecoach first for the training, because it's better, then apply for jobs with First because the pay is much better.Also, bummed I can't use my cineworld card in Belmont I just don't go because I have an unlimited card, but it would be nice to be allowed to use it in both places. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
