Colonel White.
I've just re-read your post and noted that it starts, no no no.
Does this represent BA's negotiating position?
There has to be a downside to a compromise, and the best agreements and solutions are based upon a compromise. Whilst the response to the downside is no no no, we'll get nowhere other than worse off. And I'm happy to apply that to BASSA as well. With opinions such as yours representing BA and irresponsible positions such as the infamous watersideworks representing the unions, the only way is down. And my fear is that these positions are replicated at both the top of the union and the top of BA.
