When you get yourself into a position where your company simply says "Oh never MIND, we can't be bothered with you and we'll get somebody else" to do your job when you are being recalcitrant....you are in BIG TROUBLE! Yikes!!!
Baggersup:
Your comment is accurate in the extreme.
BASSA has seems to be incapable of any reasonable and serious leadership at this point. It just seems beyond them.
The CC thread has this missive, represented as being from Duncan Holley:
I have just heard something which may explain why WW is prepared to give staff travel back to strikers but not with their original seniority.
This is 100% reliable information and not gossip -
the pilots have told Walsh they will "withdraw all co-operation" (ie assist in any further strike breaking) if BA fully reinstates our staff travel.
So the pilots are holding Walsh to ransom, probably so they get their reward by moving up the staff travel seniority ladder. Makes you wonder who is actually running this airline at present.
Nothing ceases to amaze me any more concerning our so-called colleagues in the cockpit. There may be some "good ones" out there but if they are standing by and letting this happen then they are at least guilty by association.
Is this the best BASSA can do? Their membership needs negotiation and diplomacy, and their Reps are still posting about rumours and "he said, she said" pablum.
Its like watching a union being run by Benny Hill.
