I hope that somebody can prove me wrong, but as I understand it DH has to stand down from his job as a BASSA rep at the next election. However, BASSA have contrived to delay the next election until the current wrangle is resolved. So DH has a massive conflict of interest, in that for every month he can drag the issue out, he gains some £6,000 in income.
Dig in for a long siege.
I dont think that matters necessarily. If BASSA could call a ballot then they would have by now, therefore the issue is out of the press/media. From BAs point of view its all over and the longer BASSA sulk the longer BA can keep salaries at the 2008 level and the more high allowance routes they can transfer to new fleet. The irony is that the longer it goes on more and more of BASSAs dire predictions will come true.
