Willy is not the problem

I think BASSA may be in danger of falling into the same trap that caught BALPA out during the frankly disastrous Openskies issue.

The mistake is in thinking that Willy Walsh has somehow overstepped the mark, and that when the Board realise how many enemies he has made they will throw up their hands in horror and sack him.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Mr Walsh was specifically recruited by the Board after Rod Eddington left. He has not gone too far, he is doing what the Board recruited him to do. A strong ballot in favour of industrial action will not result in Mr Walsh being sacked. He is here to stay, at least until he completes the job that he was brought in to do.
