From the start I have pointed out that Walsh's assault is not about saving an ailing airline, it is about a smash & grab on cabin crew T&Cs.
This is, I believe, where BASSA and most other people part ways on their beliefs.

£2.5million a day - that means that BA may as well be burning £30 every second - If BASSA believe this is sustainable, then they are sorely misguided. If you believe that the 10% profit made last year was something that would have happened this year if their had been no recession then you are misguided BA was predicting a low to no profit well before recession became the talk of the day.

BA isn't yet an ailing Airline but as I have said before - this attitude of it not being something that could happen to us is dangerous and the main reason that I am disappointed in a Union that would have once had my support.
