If you have access to either Crewforum or the Bassa Forum you will already know that BA did in fact seek permission to activate the DA, this permission was NOT granted.
Instead Bassa's chairperson insisted that BF contact her personally for an explanation of Bassa's perceived breaches of the DA during the last snow fall. Permission was given last time only on the condition that no Volunteer Cabin Crew or Mixed Fleet crew were to operate whilst legacy crew sat at home, this Bassa believes BA breached.
A quick word on the DA. It was activated when the first batch of snow hit very recently. Has it been "de-activated"? Has anyone any info in regards to how long the DA stays "live" before "permission" is sought from the union?
For the first batch of snow fall permission was given with an end date. (Dec 2nd to Midnight Dec 5th)
