The information from Bassa states they offered an alleviation for operating outbound cabin crew to position straight home on the inbound aircraft,therefore spending no time in mexico,or setting up a shuttle operation to,from mexico city,again preventing crew from having to stay in mexico,both proposals were rejected by the management.The union was intent on the crew spending no time in mexico,the company proposed a 1 night stay instead of 2,hardly reducing the risk of infection by any great ammount.The union claims the management are porporting to have crews welfare at heart,yet reject proposals to prevent staying in mexico,on grounds of cost !!The union has issued a statement to BA management,due to the fact that the company have attempted to blame the union for failing to ensure the welfare of its members,when the real story is somewhat different.Just highlights the appaling state of relations between management and unions at the moment.
