Which doesn't change the fact that BASSA has had a far wider reaching influence on the operation, tends to start from the standpoint of saying "no" rather than "yes" and rarely proposes smarter ways of working which actually help crew make the service better for passengers, and, indirectly, better for those delivering it.
Hopefully Mixed Fleet, and indeed the advent of management actually flying as crew in the VCC programme, will ensure such issues are fed back properly and changes made for the benefit of all, and without BASSA interference.
It still doesn't change the fact that BASSA is leading its membership into an unprotected strike and specifically exposing strikers to being fired, without recourse to unfair dismissal.
