Another reason, I failed to mention, why I continue to pay my subs. With near 10,000 members what ever bassa do has an effect upon cabin crew. I choose to remain part of that process and have my voted registered. Perhaps, as Litebulb states, if all the resigned bassa members had remained to have their votes counted, then matters could be different now.
I reiterate, bassa is more than the two people at the top - at any given time.
