Litebulbs:
I don't see you as an individual who tries to defend the indefensible..not in the least.
You have a firm belief that an honourable Union, acting in the best interests of its members is a valuable entity.
I believe many here share your belief. It is frustrating for me to consider some of the conduct observed during this "situation" and I am not a Union member. It must be even more painful for those who have worked, for the right reasons and with the right intentions, the Union side.
I'm hopeful that there will be change within BASSA. It would be a great thing for the Cabin Crew community and my personal opinion is that they deserve better than what they are receiving at the moment.
