When it comes to arguing about percentages of flights flown the jury may still be out.

However when it comes to press releases, which the press happily copy and paste more or less verbatim, BASSA/Unite are the clear winners. They come out thick and fast containing lots of words such as “estimate” or “believe”.

(Some proof reading wouldn’t go amiss though – “In contrast, in a normal working day a BA cabin crew member with five year's experience would earn only £15,000 or £16 per hour.” [my bold] I know what they are trying to say but that doesn’t read very well.
