If you accept that staff should not be penalised for taking part in a lawful dispute, why should the company be financially penalised for being in dispute with BASSA? Why should the passengers be penalised also?
Instead, BASSA has currently led the crew into a potentially job threatening position.
I feel sorry for the crew, I truly do. The loss of staff travel and possible job loss must be very worrying.
However, I feel sure it will not come to that.
Why? Because regardless of the rhetoric from BASSA HQ, BA are not the evil employer being portrayed in these embarrassing comms.
Staff travel will return, even though WW initially said it wouldn't . He HAS compromised.
But seniority will probably not be returned alas.
He owes that to the crew that did turn up, as much as anything else.
