Loathing towards pilots? And you think pilots have nothing against cabin crew?
Personally nope, I have no animosity towards CC at all.

I do have a lot of trouble with an overbearing Union who disrupts the company operations at every conceivable opportunity and who refuses to acknowledge that we no longer operate in the 1980's and have to accept change to operate in the now.

And, isn't this what BASSA is doing? Again, I don't always agree with BASSA.
BASSA stonewalled the negotiations by refusing to discuss anything apart from the possibility of CR. Not even productivity enhancements to avoid CR. Is that really the point of a Union? Did BASSA ever poll its membership to establish what the membership wanted? Nope, they just ploughed on with what the likes of Lizanne Maloney wanted.

Public opinion is dead set against this one. The fact that BASSA cried fould about leaking crew wages to the press when in reality the details came from the CAA sums up how much thought BASSA put into their actions.

If killing BASSA gets rid of over opinionated idiots like Keirhardy then at least that will do our industry a favour.
