It may be too late, as I suspect that BASSA with follow the 'No, now what is the question' dogma and it will result in a company imposed solution.

BASSA will then try to stage another show of resolve with a meeting attended by the die-hards and a vote for a strike/sick out.

WW will then issue a 90 day notice of termination to all crew and those waiting in the wings (ex 11 month etc) and existing crew will be offered jobs on the New Fleet contract (which will be worse than what could have been negotiated).

The rest will find themselves having voted for the dole rather than a strike.

In the above outline, the only chance there may be to change things would be at the BASSA meeting. That will be difficult, I acknowledge, as it will be stage managed, but I fear that if it is not done that it will be a vote for termination and not a strike as WW is dead set on his chosen course of targetted savings.

Whichever way you look at it, there will be many tears and much grief in the next 3 weeks.

Good luck ....
