By all legal means. Word on Joe Public Avenue states that they will never return to BA.

If these disloyal troublemakers are dismissed from our airline, maybe, just maybe, we will have a future.
Whilst in the heat of the moment many would agree I think you are tarring with a wide brush.

Management, over the years, have covered themselves in something far from resembling glory. That must be taken into account. When we get to a scenario where some crew won't listen to BA, because BASSA tell them not to, they can only act on the distorted information their twisted Union feeds them (see the above posts about pilots withdrawing support over ST for a classic example).

Whilst they could be described as being a little misguided I wouldn't describe all of them as being militant either.

The BASSA board aren't interested in the CC any more. They have lined their nests, most have second jobs or run part time and Duncan Holley walked from his BA job to a full time Unite position for being such a good comrade. They have nothing to lose. They want to fight this for their own personal glory and the ability to retire into the sunset stating they have screwed over one of the worlds biggest brands in the name of the Unionistic Ideal. The BASSA board will be welcomed into the Unite fold as comrades in arms and the rest of the CC and BA will be welcomed into the Conservatives new Job Application scheme.

What a glorious end.

Get rid of the loose canon BASSA. Let TW and Unite agree a deal. Cut the militants loose and lets get BA back flying properly.
