Scope protects us from BA and its subsiduaries. It does not protect us from the subsiduaries of TopCo or whatever it is going to be called these days. I don't think we can afford to be so cocky...
I for one can completely understand the fears of BASSA and the crew. However, I think BASSA went about it all in completely the wrong way. They should have been bending over backwards to negotiate sensibly right from the start. Putting themselves in the firing line was a huge mistake. Unfortunately, a mistake which has cost the crew very dearly, and will continue to do so. In the short term, the union have cost BA dearly too, but in the long term, I am quite sure the company will recover their money several fold.
Good luck to all but as I have said from the start, you are not going to win this one. Better to cut your losses now and accept the offer.
