HF14,
There's the rub isn't it? I suspect there's a significant majority of crew who think like you, who've been dictated to by a hardcore militancy at the very heart of BASSA. I hope and wish fervently for your preferred outcome, I think the majority of crew deserve such a conclusion. I fear, though, that BASSA have played their brinkmanship so far that the end result will be far worse than calm, measured negotiation might have achieved.
Not, before I'm lambasted with an insubstantial epithet from the CF journeymen, that I feel BA have acted with absolute integrity either.
