PiB's contributions sound so uncannily similar to SP's, they could be the same person, but what they have in common is a peculiarly distorted view of the world which I found endemic to many crew when I joined BA over a decade ago.

The focusing on WW as a personality, endless harping on about his track record is all very well. But this isn't The Apprentice where someone points a gun and says "You're fired". Walsh is in the driving seat and he will be doing the pointing and there will be a lot of pain.

The BASSA view seems a long way from the facts I read in the financial pages and the company results.

Romans44, if you are crew and you feel 'singled out' it may be because most other groups have taken their medicine and are now looking forward to the recovery. BASSA are refusing to listen to economic reality. You are so far out of touch you have already been left behind, I fear that your chance to sort things amicably has already passed. You will have notice on your contracts next week, I reckon, all in one fell swoop.

Several posters on here have been trying to warn you. BASSA are like holidaymakers on the beach before a Tsunami - the sun is shining but it's gone quiet, the water has disappeared, no one has realised why, and in a short while, it will be back in a very large and destructive wave.

The other employment groups, meanwhile, have heeded the warnings and already paddled out into the ocean. They will only notice the Tsunami as a slight disturbance....
