I agree, BA have achieved all they originally wanted, and possibly more.

They need do nothing other than wait patiently for Bassa to implode while the crew have no effective representation, and no likelihood of pay deals etc.

The Bassa faithful are perched on the brink of the cliff like lemmings waiting for the reps to say "jump".

The other thing that will happen at next monday's meeting is that DH may propose that the sacked reps are allowed to continue even though no longer employed by BA.

This would require a change to the Bassa constitution but can, I believe, be done on a show of hands (incredibly!!). Who would dare to vote against???

Interesting parallels with Scargill and the NUM. Although that has ended badly.
Didn't he do a great job for the miners? NOT!!!
