The most interesting thing on this thread is that when it was just 'anti BASSA' protesters the BASSA militants had, at least, a voice.
After their Union has pushed the nuclear option on them without warning or necessity then those voices are quiet.
Once the public, the passengers and the customers realised exactly the stupidity of the 'Union' and voice an opinion the BASSA militants seem less willing to justify their position.
Thus I can only conclude that they too had no realisation as to the abject stupidity of their leaders!
