It is obvious to anyone that the Bassa inspection of the accounts was nothing more than another delaying tactic. It is highly unlikely any of their reps would have understood the accounts. The everage person wouldn't have done so either.
They could have employed someone who would have understood the accounts. Did they do that?
I find it unbeleiveable that anyone could seriously doubt BA's accountants after they had been inspected by a highly respectable financial institution and submitted to Companies House like all Ltd companies have to.
It was just another petty reason to delay negotiations that they must have known were necessary in order for the airline to survive in the future. Fingers in the ears to block out hearing reality is an old habit that dies hard but not one that is recommended by a union that is there to represent their members' best interests.
Having said this I think they have got off fairly lightly.
No-one will lose a penny in pay which is of prime importance and they will still get their time off at night stopping destinations and everything else they have enjoyed. Was it not Bassa that suggested a 2.6% reduction in pay or has that been conveniently forgotten by them?
