Our understanding at present, is that your basic pay can only be deducted for the time during which you were participating in industrial action, although we haven't, as yet, heard back from our lawyers - we will however publish our legal advice in full tomorrow, for your guidance.
BA made it very clear in an email a few weeks back that pay would be deducted from the point when a crew member failed to report for duty until such time that BA could reasonably roster another trip, yet its only now that Bassa have decided to consult their lawyers, talk about shutting the gate after the horse has bolted.
It would be comical, if they weren't representing me, despite the fact that I have resigned from Bassa.
