Am a little confused as to what this 'new' BASSA cost savings document will or can offer to BA ? WW has been pretty categoric the numbers on board are NOT changing, he has legal backing (albeit not appealed) so what are they looking at now ??
Also, good to see BASSA true to form, ignoring their members decision back some months ago, on the famouse show of hands, not to negotiate any more ?? Could an appeal be a play for time (if they go ahead) to avoid embarassing the Labour Party in run up to election ??
BASSA are (still as has been pointed out here for months) sadly on a hiding to nothing - WW has in his weaponry - unprecedented employee support (the like of which I haven't seen before), board, city, public, BALPA (neutral) support and a basket case financial performance this year whatever happens - and a once in a lifetime opportunity to finally shake off the shackles of civil service legacy.
BA needs to do this for a long term succesful future, investors expect - BASSA have really achieved nothing, sad really and even more sad that the viable alternative, CC89 have just sold out their original raison d'etre (now hopefully superseded by PCC). WW - this man is not for turning....
