Safety Concerns
As young Roger used to sing, Whooooooooooooooo r u?
You are articulate, not connected with Aviation, and suggesting via implication that you are simply "interested". You have quoted one case without a link to the case.
You do not sound like a bassa apologist.
However, we've been short of bassa folk both on here and on the CC thread, over the last couple of days, so clearly their BFC core team have retreated back to their Berlin bunker so that new instructions can be issued to the poor sods who are instructed to keep the good fight going on PPrune.
My guess is that you've picked the short straw, and been asked by the Heritage bunker crowd and their SWP supporters to find novel ways of fending off those nasty people in pprune who care about customers.
I have a simple response to this whole "perk" debate that bassa are so keen to keep alive.
No-one else in this working world gets free trips to the Caribbean for them selves, their whole family and their mates, FOR FREE.
Just no-one.
So all the legal stuff matters not one-jot. Whilst the Daily Mail might take one approach, and even the Times might become a little Murdoch like with overtures of Murdoch speak, when the Grauniad and the Eye turn against CC - as they now have, that is it. End of. Simples.
Oh, and by the way - the BA action sets no precedent at all for anyone. Let's not have any of this "it's the end of the working class's ability to take industrial action against their oppressors" stuff. It would not be true, and no-one is buying it.
