Matt101,
I agree with your appraisal of the overall view of the Cabin Crew.
Sadly, those who try to promote the BASSA position have only rhetoric to fall back on. There are few facts that uphold the position that BASSA holds. Anyone who looks outside of the company to see the position that the global economy is in and, with it, the position of the long haul aviation industry, would be unable to justify the lack of change that BASSA advocate.
Change is needed. It was needed post 9/11 and it is needed even more now.
If BASSA can, with facts and accountable proof, give an alternative then, please, post it. Let the nay sayers hear the counter argument to the cuts that BA wish to make. Put, in black and white, changes that will allow the savings that are required to keep the company trudging on.
Otherwise don't, please, keep plying 'BASSA 100%' without explanation.
