Oh well done Tiramisu - a shot clear down the middle straight through the deliberate twisting of facts by BASSA - clean bowled.

In the mean time and thinking about various aspects of these discussions, it occurs to me that calling the source of your income "Self Loading Freight", is derogatary and, potentially downgrading the importance of your passengers in the minds of BA workers and the manner in which some may deal with problems or complaints.

The phrase is one that is very clever, in keeping with todays culture and brings a wry smile to the face, but is almost akin to saying 'throw your wallet in the basket as you board, we'll give you the residue when you get off'. All of which helps the union view that passengers have nothing to do with the reality of squeezing the last drop out of the orange.

I'm interested to hear your view from the action end.
