I have heard it said that the reps have, generally, not posted on any forum for a long time - by agreement.
That suggests that some of the more vocal union supporters are as much in the dark, of the inner workings, as ourselves.
This is possibly why there has never been any "justification"
That may be true WL and I think you might be right, but that doesn't quite cover it, does it?
Reps may not be posting, but then management do not post directly - unless you count SCCMs and CSDs.
So far as I am aware, the most articulate and clear thinking contributors on the other thread are 'simply' crew and I mean no denegration there. Because of the broadly open nature of argument on PPRuNe, I have learned an awful lot about this dispute - from what I can understand, probably more than the average BASSA member - so why have those members not taken advantage of this forum and found out what is
really going on? And why have none of them put the BASSA view on the front foot, by clearly elaborating their case?
I think HighFlyer14's main 'gripe', if I can pressume to summarise her/him, is that while most of the non strikers have taken the trouble to listen to both sides of the argument and made up their minds accordingly, most of the strikers have listened
exclusively to BASSA and by doing so have materially disadvantaged
all cabin crew. Because BASSA either have no idea which side their bread is buttered or, have their own agenda.
