"Finally it was reported back that the USA steel workers have donated $100,000 to our cause. Don’t you just love them?" says Duncan.
That was a claim that caught my eye too, Lou. It is terribly difficult, almost impossible in fact, to believe that a Union full of hard bitten, negotiation wise, horny handed sons of toil like American steelworkers, has even a passing resonance with airline cabin crew of any ilk, let alone limey ones. The claim doesn't ring true and there must be someone, somewhere on this forum who can either verify the donation or bust BASSA's claim?

There is a sense that the end game in near, but I'll admit I can't see quite how its going to play out. Probably with a whimper rather than a bang, if history is anything to go by.

Roger.
