I wasn't employed by BA in 1989 but I am guessing that CC89 started up in a similar fashion to the PCCC? Please correct me if I am wrong. And also feel free to put me straight that up until this dispute BASSA have thought of CC89 as the anti Christ?
I'm guessing the that they don't want the competition which in essence will errode their subs intake every week and also their overall power.
Power, now there is a keyword.
Ps. Just a thought. On the very first day, that the very first BA Cabin crew member did their very first flight, how many collective agreements did he or she have?
