Yes, this is a very difficult time - I do see many friends still at BA feeling that they are between a rock and a hard place.

On the one hand there is a growing realisation that BASSA has sold them a pup, on the other there is genuine fear about the consequences if they work and then found out to have done so which I can understand. It can be a very lonley place if your on a 4 day trip and you are ignored or even attacked by so called colleagues.

Consistently I hear that if Unite had put the deal offered by BA to members the reality is it would have been accepted. How in the name of god could Loony Len then go ahead and announce strike dates well knowing that that would scupper the deal that had been dependant on no annoucement? The reason as I see it is internal Unite politics with their internal elections pending.

I'm left of centre politically but do believe that this is a situation that WW must be allowed to manage to its conclusion
