Question for you. I ask this as cc myself.

When, in the last 15 months, have BASSA come up with a realistic, costed, ALTERNATIVE proposal to the knub of the problem - long term cabin crew costs being significantly higher than rival quality, longhaul and shorthaul airlines?

Their only proposal (the one that they persuaded the membership on a show of hands to be the ONLY proposal they would accept discussions around) was mainly short term and was valued by PWC at one third of what they claimed. That, I'm afraid, was either:

a. Breathtakingly incompetent b. Cynically dishonest. There is, I'm afraid, no middle ground on that one.

So, I say again, when has BASSA proposed a workable alternative to New Fleet?

Do they REALLY believe that we can carry on into the future as we are?
