Hate to admit it, but sounds like a jolly good plan to me? Why would BA even have to let it go to court? Surely they would settle outside and save more money? Whats a few hundred crew? I do feel that BASSA have not informed crew of all the facts. They have been lenient with the truth. They consistently deny that staff could be sacked, but they can be! This risk should be known to the cc so they can at least weigh it up themselves. Most of them would probabaly still choose to strike, but at least they would be under no illusion that it could go either way. Whether Barons theory is right or not, BA will pull out every trick in the book and one way or another, WW needs to find a way of successfully challenging the unions and with neither side perpared to back down, it's going to be handbags at dawn!!
