CW,
I think what they are seeking is control.
Control of their fellow colleagues, control of Willie Walsh, control of the Board, control of everyone else in BA so that we will all think they are the only reason the company exists, that without them we are doomed.
A view of years ago now and not one to reflect the current state of airlines around the globe.
Times, as we know, are changing and for us as a company to be here in the future means change for us all. I know all other deparments have accepted this.
The hard core BASSA representatives are losing control and they do not like the fact that the proverbial " worm " is turning and that with or without them this company will continue.
Hopefully without them.
ATB,
Middy
