Stoic:
Are the boys and girls at the BFC refusing to work simply removing themselves from BA and becoming more and more irrelevant by the day?
In a word, Yes
The strike has already seriously damaged Unite and BASSA in that, with all the numbers their members represent, they could not shut down BA. Of course the airline has been negatively affected, but every day that BA is able to maintain at least 50% of flights is a win for the airline.
The only way this was going to work for BASSA was if they could deal a crushing blow to BA's operations. So far that simply hasn't been done.
