It is difficult to be even when both sides are playing hardball and supporting their positions with spin.
Ultimately, I am a believer in management's need to manage, balanced by good representation for the workforce.
If both factors had applied at BA since privatisation, we wouldn't be where we are.
I'm no big fan of Walsh, the ground service and the product at BA has gone down noticeably under his tenure (in fairness it had started to decline before), but he has to stand firm now.
As for BASSA, 'We killed the golden goose' may be a fitting epitaph.
