Diplome.. is the assertion that Cabin Crew were offered 100 STG to fly? Given the numbers turning up for work I think that would be highly unlikely but it's quite possibly an assertion that has it's origins at BASSA.

I'd agree with your sentiment regarding the cult aspect of this, if not some of the language and phraseology! BASSA certainly has made a massive attempt made to demonise the CEO, especially once it became apparent there was no sustainable logic to the dispute, and sadly that seems to have worked to a degree on many of the Cabin Crew. Even the many very intelligent ones can't resist a snipe at "that horrible man" in the absence of anything more concrete to back up their arguments
and consistently tell them how powerful and special and talented they are
Sadly it has now been shown that it is possible to turn folks from a variety of backgrounds into basic, rank and file cabin crew, in three weeks and that act in itself has destroyed any remaining mystic about the specialness of the cabin crew jobs and the qualities needed to do it. I'm not saying it's easy job to do, it's not, but their training does not put them on a par with the likes of a GP (an opinion held by least one Cabin Crew member member). I suspect they, and many of their colleagues in other companies, will be suffering the consequences of this "revelation" for many years.
