Desertia
What are you on about? You made a posting with an incorrect comment which was pointed out to you - No need to throw your toys out of the pram old chap - and I really cannot see the point of you comparing BA CC as "cannon fodder" and a "suicidal strike" - it's not the Charge of The Light Brigade - You have been watching too many Hollywood Blockbusters old boy.
BASSA may or may not "win" its fight - but what you seem unable to grasp is the fact that if the Crew do nothing, they will lose everything anyway - if they go on strike and gain some concession back from BA then it would have been worthwhile because as it stands in a couple of years time their job will be changed beyond all recognition.
The strike option is their ONLY option - unless they all come to their senses and thrash out an agreement - that is an agreement, not imposed changes.
