Your loyalty to the BASSA party line is.... err.. no, forget that.
The question I would ask you is do you really believe what BASSA is peddling?
Do you have any idea how much trouble BASSA are going to be in if they start down the ballot route? Yes, they are entitled to have a strike ballot. Even if the vote is in favour and people do go out, they will probably get sacked immediately and at the subsequent tribunal a few years down the line, BA will refuse to re-instate them.
The militants will have gone at a stroke leaving WW to accelerate the imposition of New Fleet.
Please don't patronise me now saying I don't understand what crew are fighting for, as I think I understand very well that some die-hards are prepared to go to any lengths to maintain their individual life-styles.
