Willy will destroy SEPLA like
he did BASSA and that is bad for the pilots.
Did he really destroy BASSA? They are still here, alive and kicking with 10,000 members. Don't forget BASSA's aim of the dispute was to achieve a legally binding contractual agreement protecting the then current Cabin Crew employees. After 3 years of a bitter, hugely damaging dispute that caused untold damage to the BA brand, decimation of working relationships and the 'promotion' of WW to head of IAG that's exactly what they achieved.
The parallels with BASSA are staggering: the negativity, the bravado, and then the dissemination of unprovable propaganda in order to discredit their adversaries in a last death throe of angst and bitterness.
I'm not sure about the 'dissemination of unprovable propaganda'. Perhaps if Unites accountancy team were given the same access to the BA accounts as BALPA were afforded then they might have been able to verify that indeed it was a fight for survival. Unfortunately BA only gave access to the union who was going to try and help destroy a fellow TUC affiliate.
Don't forget it also appears that the BA dream of employing a non unionised section of the workforce, by creating 'focus and listening' groups has failed as the mothership of BASSA is now representing mixfleet.
Sorry to inform you relightengine it appears to me that BASSA/Unite are here to stay. If you wish to inform yourself on the dispute and BA's main aim of union busting start by reading the very informative book written by Professor Keith Ewing of Kings College
