But the agreement is two local nights?
As is the pilots....
The agreement is/should be a planning tool, not a case for ruining 1000s of peoples plans when disruption occurs. There is no legal requirement for 2 nights rest. BASSA is there to protect your interests long term, they are not there to destroy BAs ability to recover from disruption. Some BA crew seem to have a child/parent relationship with BASSA, it almost like they believe BASSA is the employer. Have you ever seen a pilot ringing BALPA to find out what to do?
We had crew local to our diversion airport ringing BASSA for permission to go home the other day. The Capt, BA and CSD were happy but BASSA had to confirm...
