Chuchinchow,
when I first read your post I had a lot of sympathy for what you were saying. If I were a member of a private club which only did legal things legally then I would not want the outside world to be probing in to us.
However, bassa are not a private club. Further, they have expressed on a number of occasions their desire to muck up MY and other people's lives.
If I fly with BA, bassa's strike threats are a real pain. They want to ruin my passenger/customer experience.
They are probably unable to deliver on their threats, but they make it clear that they wish to negatively impact the passenger.
If I fly with BA I do not get hot towels in econ+, courtesy of bassa and weak BA managers.
I could go on with this, but it becomes boring.
By expressing their desire to muck up the lives of SLF, bassa have said that they want a public debate. They want to be with the big boys and girls.
A public debate includes Accounting for each and every penny that they have had over the last few years.
I hope that some bright QC picks up this case and gets all the dirty laundry - if there is any - out in the open.
