MissM,

So you are going to risk the consequences of more industrial action now because of a fear of what might happen in the future? This is the same mistake as BALPA made with the Openskies dispute, and as it turned out Openskies has not proved to be threat. Luckily BALPA were forced to back down on that one, and no one got hurt.

If Openskies becomes a threat, you will see BALPA resist again, and maybe BASSA should learn that lesson.

If BA don't honour the new contracts that they are trying to get you to sign, you might find that you will have broad support for industrial action, because you will have made concessions like the rest of us, but still BA come for more. You will earn the sympathy of other groups if that happens.

As things stand, BASSA are proving to be a thorn in the side of progress, and have no sympathy from those outside of it's diminishing ranks.
