The 'daily mail' may well be pro BA, but I do not see any newspaper that is pro Bassa/unite, other than the 'socialist'. Could this be because Bassa/unite have no case to fight?
Bassa never had an authentic reason for IA. All along the real purpose for this dispute was a bunch of senior CC attempting to protect their long standing perks & restrictive practices. Unfortunately for them they came up against Mr Walsh who was employed by the BA Board with the sole purpose of once again making BA profitable.

Once he has achieved that aim, as he surely will, then he will set about ensuring that the standards of service will once again become world beating. I also firmly believe that is achievable because he already has the tools in place, namely the BA CC. Remove the relatively few bad apples & things will eventually return to normal. The majority of strikers will soon get over their disappointment at losing because they will be relieved to still have a job. Those that don't will join the dole queue.
