Personally, I have to be rather cynical regarding this statement:
I think you will find that most of these "militant" crew are wanting what's best for the company. Nobody wants to stand in BA's way for progress and grow as an airline.
I've seen nothing out of BASSA in the last six weeks that any individual could interpret as being positive for BA. Quite the opposite.
As for the "trust" issue bandied about by every Cabin Crew member upset because their IA produced negative results for BASSA, hence negative results for their members, trust works both ways.
As a stockholder and customer do I "trust" BASSA to not obstruct any changes, no matter how minor, simply for the purpose of grandstanding? Absolutely not. Do I "trust" the militant cabin crew to behave like professionals and reasonable adults in the future after watching their behavior over the strike days and observing conduct such as developing a porn site to smear co-workers and BA with? That would be silly. Do I "trust" BASSA or militant cabin crew to not spread obvious misrepresentations for the purpose of negatively impacting their employer? No.
I was at the Grand National last saturday. There were five women at our table and to a person the lasting impression they came away with regarding the striking crew members was the vision of that drinking woman wearing the mens undergarment with Mr. Walsh's image on the seat. I had to remind my companions that the majority of Cabin Crew did not strike, in fact they did everything they could do keep the company flying and should not be smeared with the coarse behavior of others.
Is BASSA a group that I'm expecting great things out of in the future? Who would be so foolish. Thank goodness that the militants are in the minority and that BA has finally decided that they, and not BASSA, will run the airline.
..and as an aside, how can anyone allow themselves to be represented by a Union that will not even allow their members to vote on offers on the table? Does BASSA not "trust" their own members?
