Clearly it is a quasi union set up under the auspices of BA. If there is no joining fee or subs, who is paying the bills?
Who is paying the bills eh. Tell you what, as you seem to know so much about Bassa, a genuine question. Up till a year ago Bassa had 12000 ish members at just under £17/month. Thats around £1.9 million/year. So around a million goes to unite, but where does the rest go. Thing is nobody but the hierachy in Bassa know. The accounts are about as transparent as armour plated steel. So before you start worrying about the PCCC's finances, please give us all a breakdown of bassa's, because I can tell you it's been a mystery to many of us for years. This is a GENUINE question.
As for crew defence, same question. Where are the accounts, who holds them, do any of the crew who have contributed know the financial state of play today. I said the same to a crew member who had donated £100 to CD. He couldn't answer any of those questions, but told he knew the 2 crew involved were 'good' guys even though he didn't know them personally. Told him he might as well give £100 to a stranger in the street. Unbelievable.
