This is how you define a BASSA "Victory"

BASSA FAIL in their attempt to stop BA imposing. Let us be accurate about that. BASSA went to court asking for an injunction against BA imposing. They FAILED to get it.

(BA agree to discuss it in court in February; that should be ample time to prove that it's acceptable, as well as get rid of any so-called "strikers" and replace them with more realistic headcount).

Then BA announce a record loss, which possibly could have been reduced if BASSA had made the necessary concessions in the first place instead of their retarded refusal to even consider it.

And so now BA have announced ANOTHER 1,200 jobs to go. Obviously the City and shareholders are in full agreement, as the share price has risen. They obviously believe that Willie is doing a great job of not only keeping the airline going, but adapting it for a competitive future.

So come on Watersidewonker and Fume Event.

I'd absolutely dying to hear how either of you consider this a victory for possibly the most self-destructive and ignorant union ever conceived.
