Juan and Eddy with respect, I beg to differ. RTM fell foul of the same rule. Unite, once again, didn't cross their t's and dot their i's and their lawyers, who may as well be respresented by Bart Simpson, once again, failed to defend. I'm truely sorry for the crew that have been mislead down such a dangerous path. They are now in a most precarious position, however, I find it unlikely that WW will sack the crew. BA have a long history of being more than fair and tolerant (unlike Bassa), but I do think WW will be able to now use his strengthened position for even more leverage and Unite will now have to accept whatever deal in put forward or be sued to buggery for the cost of the strike and possible loss of strikers jobs. Bassa will have no choice now but to admit defeat, retreat in the most face-saving manner possible, lick their wounds and hope that they still have a place within BA.
