Can someone explain why so many BA crews vote for a strike but recent press releases talk of more and more crews coming forward to say they are willing to work? Double standards? "Yes...but no"....
I can. Crew voted YES to strike action to "send willie a message". I've heard this repeated time after time after time. So many really didn't think that Willie would stick to his guns and they'd actually have to strike - with all the risks that brings.

The genuine threat of the loss of Staff Travel for life has brought it all home.

BASSA reps have made it clear that any return-to-work agreement WILL include the re-instatement of Staff Travel.

Wiilie made it 100% clear in his Monday speech that this will NOT happen and that those strikers will lose their ST for life.

Depends who you have your money on, but it's a fair old gamble imho.
