Already the usual suspects here are trying to dilute the figures.
BASSA stated:
"As of a few days ago, the actual crew members who have claimed strike pay for at least one day - and up to 22 days - now stands at a fully-authenticated 6,240 (there is a further full in-tray to process, and claims continue arriving). "
This is clearly not the number of "claims", but those crew who took part in IA.
What a shame to spoil the party here, but the truth is sometimes hard to take.
The most importatn fact is that BA's cabin crew (except LGW) have not been the pushover everyone (and Walsh) believed. Now there will be a third ballot. Didn't expect that did you?
