I'm honestly hard pushed to think of any occasion when Bassa has mislead us.

We lost because Lalalady and her team of kitchen fitters actively encouraged leaving/retiring crew to vote.

The evidence put forward in favour of the cabin crew has won them the right to a have their case heard in full on
1st Feb 2010.
Lalalady and her team of kitchen fitters FAILED to get an injunction stopping British Airways imposing non-contractual changes on crew without agreement, a full hearing was always going to follow.

and completely proportionate to those achieved elsewhere within British Airways.
British Airways chose to reject these proposals, even though they included a temporary pay cut. We can only
conclude therefore that its unwillingness to work with your union signals a determination to also force through
future wider structural changes without consent.
Bassa valued our 'very generous' offer at £175M, an offer that was temporary and was to be paid back after two
years. This offer was valued at just over £50M by PWC.

It has been widely accepted that Lalalady and her team of kitchen fitters refused to negotiate, refused to see the BA's books, refused to negotiate with CC89.
