That's right, BASSA has never agreed to changes in working practices...ever.
Had they done so we wouldn't be in this much of a mess now.
What exactly will they agree to now??
Fixed links? I don't think so, Reduction in crewing levels? I doubt it, they still want extra crew before agreeing to hot towels in world traveller plus for heavens sake.
BASSA wants to leave all crew totally untouched and screw every new joiner, is that not a little selfish?
