I heard that Virgin Galatic are now offering flights beyond low earth orbit even out as far as Planet BASSA.

BASSA's crazy leadership have 'gone nuclear' already and put the gun to their own head. BA won't/can't back down now so I think WW will be putting his finger on the trigger. 1-2-3-Fire being the operative phrase. Firing anyone who doesn't show on the 22nd is a simple solution; it gets rid of the most militant employees, they won't receive any VR/CR payments and the rest of the staff fall into line. The downside might be an issue in 2/3 years time but they've faced worse fines.

I feel sorry for the crew who were hoodwinked into voting yes simply as a protest vote. Never did they think they'd end up wearing donkey jackets and standing around burning braziers on a picket line through a Christmas of dissent.

It's the punters I feel sorry for.
