BASSA, the cc union, is likely to come on line soon, with their own issues but to include OpenLies now.

BALPA obviously have a point ref Openskies and sched K and the action they are taking, do Cabin crew have any such agreements over who can and can't operate on BA aircraft?
I would say that BA is even more inclined to shut the door over openskies with BASSA as I am sure they don't want any Mainline crew agreements seeping in to Openskies.
On another point aren't OS cabin crew being recruited from the USA? Why aren't BA doing this with pilots, as surely that would reduce BALPA's argument as mainline pilots would not be able to work in the US so easily as in the EU??
