The pilots didn't get off so 'lightly', we achieved 100% of the savings we were required to achieve - it shows what sophisticated and imaginative negotiations can obtain - even with BA management.
The reason we are not backing out of your troubles is that many of us have family and/or good friends who are being poorly represented, who aren't receiving the full facts from Bassa, and could be being led into an unnecessary, stressful and ultimately expensive confrontation. Bassa need to start being open and honest, stop the tub-thumping and aggressive name-calling, and start being sophisticated and imaginative.
They should be working for the benefit of all their members, not just a few senior CSDs who commute, and who have by far the most to lose.
