I've been doing much reading over the last few weeks, here and on other Forums. Ignoring the various "yes he did, no he didn't" discussions, and the trading of questionable statistics, there is one thing that shines through all this.

The British are at their VERY best in times of adversity. The support given to BA by staff from ALL departments is not simply a question of self-preservation - with respect, I doubt that complex equation is part of many people's thinking. What all those good people ARE doing, IMO, is seeing something wrong, and bad, and mismanaged and doing everything they can to prevent it happening, and the keep the company going.

If it was a BAD company, as BASSA would imply, you could perhaps envisage all staff being keen to see it fall [as the BASSA militants seem to desire]. Instead, there is a massive "Rally Round The Flag" attitude, which is incredibly heart-warming.

Good luck to you all.
