I'll leave it to you to question the truthfulness of the chairperson of Bassa in writting. A question was asked, as had been suggested on this very site, and an answer given. You don't like the answer, and why should you, so you spin it out and question it. Did bassa attend the meeting? Yes.

Again, I wasn't there, I don't know what has been discussed in meetings, and neither I suspect were you.

I do know that now BA has informed the Goverment that 90 days notice has been provided for compulsary redundancies, BA now have a legal obligation to discuss with workers representatives the handling of the redundancies. They may prefer to discuss 'New Fleet' but surely you can see that the order of discussions needs now to be how job losses can be handled before any discussions on how new jobs will be created.

None of us have the facts re new fleet, but on the information we have there surely is a legal question of how a company can make 2000 cabin crew redundant one day, then re-employ 500 cabin crew the next day.
