Sorry ChicoG but I disagree with this - "straw-clutching BASSA mentality" ... I think it is indicative of the numbers of "straw clutching British Airways cabin crew". It is British Airways cabin crew that called for this strike action and British Airways cabin crew who can end it. They can't hide behind BASSA for everything.
The fact that PC767 seems to think there is a power struggle between cabin crew and management as to who runs the company speaks volumes of just how deluded significant numbers of British Airways cabin crew seem to be. Have they not realised that cabin crew work in the cabin (the name of the role sort of gives it away). Pilots sit at the front and, well, pilot the plane. And managers manage.
Just how long will it take for BA cabin crew to realise this?
