Well in an attempt to be dispassionate.....

Round 1 to BA

BASSA failed to get an injuction, New crew levels imposed, VR people leave the business - BA saves money

Ding

Round 2 to BASSA

BASSA gets reasonable support for strike action and calls a 12 day strike, which I have to admit I didn't see coming (2 or 3 days maybe) - I guess if your going to lead lemmings over a cliff it might as well be a very HIGH cliff!!

Ding

Round 3 is now underway........ Will BA jab with a court injuction, or deliver a roundhouse by sacking strikers? Will BASSA uppercut and scare BA back to the negotiating table? Will Willie Resign?!?!? Tune in tomorrow, or maybe later today for the next installment


Sort of like Eastenders, but even more life like.

None of which is even remotely entertaining for those who stand to have holiday travel plans disrupted (Me included, but at least I can drive to Scotland), but flipancy is they only way I can cope with such monumental stupidity (I'm reffering to BASSA here incase anyone is unsure!!) without going insane!
