Now that the fight is over, both BASSA's collective and DH's individual pathological insanities (hereinbefore "the BASSAmentalist culture") continue, yet again, to help BA in its otherwise difficult final task of quickly restoring CC relations to normality.
As a result of having had his back trapped against the wall, DH has irrationally and completely delusionally switched his position on what amounts to almost identical offers made by BA between March 2010 & May 2011 from 'all bad and totally unacceptable' to 'all good and what we were fighting for' (while conveniently choosing not to mention his recent specious 10 points for strike action) and in doing so has the majority of his 5811 strike-supporting CC running around partying (yet again!) saying 'My God I can't believe it but we've actually WON!'
To summarise AO's post above, the BASSA and legacy CC's indoctrinated mantra is "BA want change", "we say NO", "BA don't back down", "we go on strike have a party and behave like children", "BA back down and we WIN". CC have no reason or wish to comprehend the content or realities of what they are being asked to do and appear to have no knowledge or even seem to care that they are now worse off. BASSA says "the strike is over" ergo "we have WON".
Its deluded CC's perceived realities matter not one jot to BA as long as it has achieved everything it wanted, and ideally more, which it has infact done. The fact that this delusion has made these CC ecstatic instead of mortally shamed in their abject defeat just adds to BA's skill and accompanying good fortune in dealing with this dispute.
To us rational, intelligent and sane people this has been an amazing lesson in watching the unthinking, herd, mentality of some of our fellow beings. I would never have thought to witness such immature behaviour and stupidity among a relatively large group of people who are employed in a role giving them responsibility for the safety of hundreds of us passengers on commercial airline flights. This, in itself, is a somewhat troubling issue if viewed in isolation and should probably be a topic for another thread.
BA management must be laughing all the way to the start of their next round of customer service and productivity improving measures.......
Absolutely un - bloody - believable!
