I do have a question though that was alluded to in earlier posts and that is that when BA management were fined for their dirty tricks escapades who is it that actually stumps up the money? I would have thought that if the management instigated the crimes then they should be the ones to cough up or is that too simplistic?
The so called dirty tricks resulted in increased profits for BA. The fines were later paid from those profits.

Effectively, all BA management, staff and shareholders benefitted from the increased profits. All BA management, staff and shareholders ultimately paid for the fines.

Though it would appear to an outsider looking in that BASSA somehow believe that their members did not benefit from the profits, but are the only ones paying for the fines.
