Quite so. Yet why do BASSA and many of the members persist in comparing any deal offered to them to the agreed deal that Flt Ops struck with BA? After all, your own words above suggest that one should not be looking at different professions and comparing apples with oranges. I fear the visceral dislike of flight crew that is so assiduously cultivated by BASSA has lead many members to forget that we too are in entirely different professions. Those professions interact on a daily basis but doesn't mean that Cabin Crew should receive any deal a pilot does. Something I presume you, personally, if not as a representative of the wider BASSA voice, must agree with by the tenor of the above quote?
