Its becoming clear that BASSA are at the root of the problem here. By adopting the tactics of intimidation, lies and the fabrication of 'items that will surely impress' the 'leaders' have demeaned the cabin staff. That is not right and its not fair. And when you see, as we did yesterday, one rep who is reported to earn £50k and has only worked as a CSD (one of the lucrative jobs) for a very small number of hours in the past year, it is pretty clear that BASSA has a large group of self serving people at the helm, including militants. Unite have shown their true colours through Woodly so both unions are in the poo.
The girls and guys who are the cabin staff of BA deserve better, and it is pleasing to see that they have had enough and formed their own council. Now perhaps they will resign from BASSA en bloc.
I believe Willie Walsh and Bill Francis will keep their word. I believe that they will strive now to ensure the future of BA and its much valued staff. The cynics will have their say and the die-hards too but in the end BA will win. It is just a crying shame that it came to this.
