does BASSA have to give BA 7 days notice again before the next round of strikes. So for example if one was going to Pheonix on 16 Apr, in order for a strike to disrupt it, they must be announced by 8 Apr ie Thursday.
What has happened to CC89? They always played David Steel to BASSAs David Owen (I was a spitting Image fan) but they seem to have disappeared completely.

1)Yes, all strike action has to have a minimum of 7 days notice. So you might be in luck! Rumour has it that with the election being officially announced, the union has been discouraged from announcing any info on dates whilst election is fresh news. A) cos it looks bad for labour, B) as the election will steal the news and UNITE/BASSA dont want their headlines smothered.
2)CC89 were absorbed into the BASSA/UNITE machine sometime ago. Interestingly some independent thinking crew in despair of the representation options available to them, have started up The Professional CrewCouncil, (PCC) which is how CC89 originally started. PCC hasnt gained official recognition from the airline (yet), but from what i hear, is attracting ever increasing support from disillusioned crew.
BTW (By The Way), as a non flying member of BA staff, i want to say a HUGE thank you to the customers who are continuing to support us by booking BA. The vast majority of staff, crew and non crew, want simply to offer you the best service we can and value you as our customers.
