A13,
Bassa have caused this mess and BA have just reacted badly to having to deal with a dysfunctional union.
I do worry about the future but the 'Way Forward proposal' that Bassa put forward was truly awful particularly for E/F crew, which incidentally incorporated Mixed Fleet anyway, and in actual fact, what BA has come up with was preferable to that and that's saying something!!
Bassa have got no idea how to negotiate and always threaten to strike!
If Bassa had not rushed to strike over crewing levels and had negotiated some sensible savings, there would be no M/F.
M/F was always meant to be a threat of what could happen if Bassa did not cooperate over sensible savings! Guess what! Bassa called a strike and made M/F a reality. BA must be laughing because you and your union have basically given them a golden egg by calling crew out in a silly, rush to ruin Christmas strike, 18 months ago.
So no, I am happier without Bassa, thanks all the same.
