Ladies and gentlemen, I am in no way connected with aviation, whether operator or client.
I have observed these threads from the very beginning, both here and on the cabincrew forum, but finally, have become so inscenced(sp) with the 'one cell' diatribes and utter foolishness that I have read/witnessed, that I finally need to ask one or two fundamental questions.
The catalyst for this was listenning to 'linda', lower case on purpose, on the 'fascinating' Vine programme on radio 2 this day.
Setting aside the BBC left bias, this woman declared that she had to disguise here identity, by using a false name. She is a BASSA member and a strike advocate and was bleating about bullying and intimidation, which left me momenterily speechless, unusual for me. To date, I have not heard one syllable from the non strikers, defending their position.
My points/ questions are as follows and I would really appreciate some sensible answers from both sides of the arguement.
Why has it not yet been made plain/obvious, the reasons behind the progenitor for this strike in the media? To wit, the imposition of the reduction of ONE crew member on a flight, remembering that Bassa have refused to negotiate for around 18 months.
Why is it that the media has not actually put the facts straight, that the bullying and intimadation has originated from militant Bassa members?
I guess that will do for now, but my opinion currently is, that it is high time that the PCCC came out of the woodwork and laid claim to the high ground and provided the media with some hard 'accurate' facts about the Bassa CSD's.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

James.
