MissM has indignantly told Betty Girl
I'm sorry to say this but I am absolutely shocked that you are welcoming ex-temporary crew in such manner who are only brought back to break our union and take our jobs. I really am.
Be shocked - absolutely or otherwise. British Airways and British public opinion have passed you by, MissM, so you now have all the time you want to be "absolutely shocked".
I am sure that BASSA, which apparently is the strikers' saviour, will back you up, give you an institutional shoulder to cry on (or not, as the case may be). What it will not do is to pay your current salary and allowances into your bank account.
BASSA are trying to control New Fleet
Call me old-fashioned if you like, MissM, but I have always thought that BASSA's core business was trade unionism. If any organisation is to "control New Fleet" it will be British Airways' management - not BASSA.
