Hi Reargunner thanks for your reply.
I largely agree with you and predict huge changes in the not so distant future very much including pp24 pay being less than i currently receive by the time i get there.
Time will tell if FC have adapted quickly enough to avoid the corporate gunsight. Bassa clearly have not and it's now deemed cheaper to break bassa than negotiate. The refusal to move beyond 1970 at fortress Heathrow made this inevitable.
That is a history who's accuracy we can debate, my point is that right here right now there are two very unpleasant choices and you all have to decide which one will do the least harm. I cannot see a victory for bassa.
Best wishes sd
