Sorry but by convention you are screaming. CAPITAL LETTERS are taken as shouting. Further to your diatribe - a meeting at Kempton Park does not back up your assertion that 95% of crew are behind BASSA. You plucked that figure out of thin air. As there's been no ballot or poll of all crew, you can't know the support. Also, personalising it and making it about Willie Walsh - another timeless BASSA favourite. You won't play the ball, you always have to play the man. That's why it's always the pilots' fault, the managers' fault never the world we find ourselves in is it?
The incapability of the most fervent supporters of BASSA to depersonalise this argument is incredible and really means that most of what is said might be ignored. That said, hats off to you for coming over here and joining the debate. Perhaps now, you can do us the courtesy of actually debating facts, not providing a soundbite you can post on Crewforum to get all your other anonymous friends to tell you how clever and witty you've been. Presumably with the use of the word twunt followed by ten posts consisting of nothing but smilies.
To suggest that this place is merely a febrile ground for media hacks is to do it a great disservice. It's an ideal place to have this debate, one of the few where any staff member in BA, or the general public can put their two'pennorth in. Yet most crew seem happier hiding behind the crew only forum and simply massaging each others' egos. To deprecate PPrune when the vitriol that pours forth to the dissenters on Crewforum is still in existence is hypocritical and unworthy of right thinking adults.
Still, you're here and that's something indeed. Bring facts and reasons to the next post and I'd genuinely welcome the debate with you. Think that's possible? I'm not being facetious, would truly welcome it.
Ball's in your collective court BASSA supporters.
