MissM - apologies. I remembered you were part-time, but forgot the detail.
YOUR Chairman [BASSA?] didn't think the weather disruption was enough? Excuse me - do CC Union Reps decide on aircraft operations as well as hot towels?
BASSA is used to running the company and afraid of losing their control and this is one of their issues with this dispute. As I said in a previous reply they have always been used to getting what they want and our previous CEO's have backed down at any sight of a possible dispute with the cabin crew.
You have summed up the issue in that one short paragraph -
who runs BA?
That is the
exact sort of problem that BASSA has created. Cabin Crew Union Reps are not, unless the World has started rotating in the opposite direction, experts on the realities of aircraft operations. Nor, having spent most of my working life in Ground Ops, would I tell what the FD crew can, or cannot do [well, I did, but that was my job
], but at least I was closer to what they were interested in - SAFE Operations.
The Reps are seemingly experts on the various T&C, and the rest of the Company's problems are irrelevant.
