Dingbaticus,
The 'personal nature' of this dispute has only come from one side - that of bassa.
For WW and the LT it has all been about business, business, business:
- the business of ensuring that management run the company,
- the business of ensuring that bassa does not run the company, and
- the business of ensuring that cabin crew make their allocation of cost savings - JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DEPARTMENT.
I certainly hope that Keith Williams, the new CEO, keeps up the efforts to ensure that bassa are firmly 'put in their place'!!
