You have all but admitted that you have been completely misled and lied to by BASSA. Now that you have realised that, isn't it time to cut your losses? Staff travel is on offer - with reduced seniority. That is far better than not having it all. Striking again, as you seem to realise, is futile and will not get your staff travel back. If you are only striking to get staff travel back, then it begs the question - why did you ever go on strike in the first place?

It is because of these lies and because of the ruin that BASSA have inflicted on people, that we all need to do something about it. Do not throw good money after bad by striking again - I really feel you are putting your job in serious jeopardy if you do.

if a framework for the return of staff travel can be agreed, I know of many crew who are now considering BA's offer. Perhaps if your organisation was open and you were identifiable you would offer a rally point and safety for such people.

The Professional Cabin Crew Council does offer a "rally point" and "safety" for people. They are all chatting on our forum, talking excitedly about the new offer, saying how pleased they are to act independently from BASSA. There are also some who have left the Union since the offer was announced - and they are expressing feelings of freedom now. No-one has expressed that they are unhappy with the new offer.

You, however, are still tied to the Union. What do you think to the new offer? As you have already acted independently from BASSA and ignored their strike call, why don't you go the full hog, and realise, as many others have, the sense of liberation from not belonging to this archaic, outdated Union that are leading people to ruin?
