My view is that you would be better off asking BASSA to explain that decision of theirs
Complete speculation on my part, but perhaps BASSA refusing to sign the non-disclosure agreement is one of their better decisions. Mr Francis, in an answer to CC, has already expressed his frustration with BASSA leaking documents that were provided in confidence at consultation stage and then presented to the membership as future BA policy.
So,
perhaps BASSA were not confident in their own ability to not disclose – and let’s face it on a sliding scale leaking BA’s accounts would be a biggie...!
....and whilst we are all giving advice to the PCCC, albeit well meaning and good natured I cannot resist offering my own....
As BASSA appear to be making the very worst of decisions at every opportunity the phrase “never interrupt your opponent when he’s making a mistake” comes to mind.
Perhaps the PCCC has to do little more than exist at this stage?
