I think its classic BA v BASSA, I have said all along BA have been playing the long game, give BASSA something to hang a victory on and the rest will fall into place
Whilst it is good news that New Fleet will not go ahead, I think there is a bombshell coming tomorrow (D Day). Like you Dadog I too believe that New Fleet was always a bluff - right from the leaked documents last summer which was just all so very well enacted.
Perhaps all BA ever wanted was a New new contract? Now BASSA have handed it to them on a plate ...and a pay cut...and a 2yr pay freeze
Let's see what tomorrow brings- the demise of the CSD? Hourly rate? All of the above? Whatever the bomb shell, BASSA will be claiming huge victory now. The glory is all theirs.
Very well played Willie.
