My heart tells me that any right minded judge will force the FULL reinstatement of staff travel as it was prior to the dispute
Sadly for the BASSA case, the English legal system quite often cannot force the system to be changed back to it's initial conditions. Rather it awards compensation for losses.
As ST has already been offered back but with ammended DOJ etc, BA can easily argue that financial loss incurred is zero or very low. BA have offered that ST is returned so it can be argued that all that is preventing it's return is the stance of the union. If the judge were to agree that the financial losses incurred have been caused largely by the refusal of the union to accept its return then the compensation awarded would amount to nothing. BASSA would win but gain nothing.
This is not a clear cut case either way, and BASSA may rue the day they took it to court. BA have a long history of appealing everything, to the highest court possible and dragging every court case out as long as possible. This could easily take years of going back and forth with no actual change for those involved. If you can afford years of buying commuting tickets as your extra earnings dwindle as NF grows, then good luck. In the meantime BASSA are sidelined and made to look irrelevant.
This may well be an important point of principle for the union movement, but that will not help current BASSA members who have lost their ST through their own stupidity.
BASSA here are fiddling while Rome burns, this whole issue is a smoke screen - it grabs the heartstrings and diverts attention away from the real issue. BASSA have significantly mismanaged this whole affair and the deals offered by BA are getting worse with each iteration. The imposition has happened, NF has happened,and BA are now managing their business with no reference to BASSA.
BASSA have failed to stop anything BA wanted and in fact gifted them some things that were at one stage off the table - NF. Indeed membership levels have reduced, LGW is almost wholly ignoring BASSA.
I'm sure BA is more than happy with things as they are going.
So keep on with the pointless sideshow that is the ST court case, BA and WW will continue to run the business without BASSA.
