MissM, it has been stated numerous times before but as usual you appear to ignore the facts that don't fit in with your view point. BA did seek permission to activate the DA, this permission was NOT granted by the Chairperson of Bassa. This can be substantiated by a news item posted on the Bassa forum on Dec 18th by the bassa chairperson.

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.
