Mixed fleet is here because of bassa, blame them and sort them out for all our sakes.
Plodding Along

That is exactly what we (the moderate crew) have been trying to do.

Initially, as union members, we spoke out. Many of us have been banned from CrewForum and BASSA forum for doing so. The BA ESS forum was shut down due to the abhorent tone used by the militants.

Some of us spoke to the reps, and got short, sharp replies "Can't you see what we are trying to do for you?". A few of us brave souls went to the mass meetings and dared to put our hands up voting against the masses.

We have now left Unite and set up the PCCC - and encouraged others to do the same. We crossed the picket lines during the strike. Notices get ripped down off the noticeboard (sometimes within minutes). Many of our members maildrop their friends and colleagues - now BASSA militants are complaining to managers about that! One CrewForum CSD is actively campaigning to stop us allowing to communicate via maildrop. The PCCC is not even allowed to be mentioned on BASSA forum!

I have personally spoken to a Unite official and asked why DH is still the branch secretary when he no longer works for BA. The reply: "A very good question - Unite also want to know that, you'll have to speak to the reps."

The majority of BASSA reps probably don't even work for BA now, yet they are allowed to spearhead this vindictive, malicious campaign against BA. Why? This corruption has gone way too far now, but yet everyone - BA, Unite, cabin crew themselves seem powerless to stop it.

Can someone, somewhere please tell us just exactly HOW you expect us to "sort them out"?
