There is nothing different about BA CC except that their archaic, overstaffed and over paid Union have foisted this situation on to them with the absolute minimum of information.
What will be the basis for IA then WSW? What nugget of the massive broad brush T's & C's reason that was included on the ballot form will be the catalyst?
BASSA HAD TO BALLOT if imposition was used, they said they would and they are now caught between a rock and a hard place. They lost the injunction, the court case will be interesting to watch given all of the BASSA bluster over the past few months and IA, irrespective of the vote, will not happen.
A yes vote won't get Willie Walsh thrown out on his ear, he has the backing of the board, shareholders, Iberia etc. A yes vote won't get the cessation of the new rules as they are fundamental to the ongoing viability of the company. A yes vote won't stop the formation of 'New Fleet' as that could only have been tempered/stopped with adult negotiation.
Also why does this 'imposition' come as such a shock to the BASSA hard liners? BASSA agreed that productivity needed to increase if costs were to be kept down. Now that those requirements are knocking the door down BASSA cry 'foul!'?
So, what are the nefarious plans from Mount BASSA for the future struggle in the glorious fight against the dark armies of the black BA management? Oh, that's correct, BASSA will win the court case and everyone will get back payments for the terrible hardships they have had to endure working at 'normal' industry crewing levels.
Only in LaLa land.
