I know it has been said so many times before but I am going to say it again:
BASSA have brought this on themselves!
If BA were following some kind of plan to 'bust' the unions then BASSA was an obvious target.
No to the Long Range Agreement
No to midfleet/767
No to New York crew hotel (Fitzpatrick)
No to the consolidation (1997)
No to hourly rate - and less tax
No to pensions changes
No to hot towels
No to window blinds
No negotiating
NO NO NO NO
What good is a union that has only one response to ANY proposal?
They have self-destroyed and are now on a long and very slippery slope to oblivion - Good
VCtenderness what about
:
No to part time in 1993 - we will all be part time in 2 years time. Thats what BA wants.
No to crewcard in 94. BA will see what we spend on our allowances and then lower them!
Give me 5 mins,thats a real 5 mins not a Bassa 5 mins and I'm sure I'll think of more.

Sorry Bill but these divisions will be here as long as these angry crew are here, which is for ever if you let them. It might be over for you if there is no strike, but on the shopfloor its very differant I can tell you.
So Ottergirl, if you have a ballot form, PLEASE vote yes, as it seems to me that another strike is the ONLY way this whole mess will get properly sorted
