It must be a breath of fresh air for those involved in MF seeing as the majority of MF cabin crew seem to be of the opinion that they would work to almost nothing just as long they get to wear a BA uniform.
A BASSA adherent would say that. Have BASSA ever considered that those actively seeking positions in MF are doing it voluntarily, and because they feel it is a job worth having? Have BASSA ever considered that the salary in MF (aside from it being much nearer the 'norm' for the job) is welcomed by many who may have lost their jobs elsewhere, or are attempting to improve their lot? Contrary to twisted BASSA opinion, just because a salary is below that of some legacy crew, doesn't necessarily make it 'poverty wages'.

Finally, have BASSA ever considered that everybody else but themselves likes working with the MF crews, because those MF crews display qualities that should be the norm in the industry. An awful of of people are fed up with the attitude of the legacy BASSA die-hards - surly, obstructive, uncooperative,envious, miserable, insubordinate - such that the "breath of fresh air" that is MF will gain the upper hand. Undoubtedly.

BASSA are being bypassed, a fact that the rest of BA welcomes. And all because of BASSA's own actions - how ironic! The fault lies entirely with BASSA.
