The only sensible way forward for BASSA is with a new chair, new reps and a new attitude - one that encompasses the real world, and not lalaland.
Ok, so a few questions: What is the demography at the top of BASSA - are the Reps pretty much all senior, decades served, CSDs and Senior Pursers? How well represented (demographically) are the crew on the new contracts? Do any of the relative newbies ever stand to be elected as Reps and if so how do they get on?
All genuine questions from someone who remembers the days when the top of BALPA was somewhat heavy with Senior Captains.....
