errr, yeah, perhaps it's because we offer value for money. We go the extra mile and don't go crying to our union every time we overextend our union agreements; we're flexible and always have been and our prime concern after safety is that of the well being and comfort of our passengers and our company. We do not allow them to take the p!ss but in times of disruption we will always be on the coalface doing whatever is necessary to keep the show on the road, especially when it is not the company's fault. Can BASSA and its members say the same?
I'm not saying that they won't have to come after us again, and pensions is up for review soon methinks. What you fail to realise is that unlike BASSA and some of its members, we have been adapting for 12 years now whereas, up until the strike your agreements had changed little. Bassa might still be around but they are a toothless tiger. And if you ask me, for the sake of the vanity of a few BASSA leadership they have destroyed the protection of their members.
