The Count, as ever is stretching the truth. No BA pilot has been bribed. Indeed no BA pilot has gained any shares. Nor did any pilot receive anything other than their normal flight and duty pay while acting as VCC.
Much like the aircraft flying circuits during the strikes and the aircraft parked at Cardiff, these allegations of the Count are lies designed to whip up support for an indefensible position.
In truth, rehashing old lies and entrenched positions serves no-one in IB any good. The truth of the matter is that BASSA called a strike after BA reduced crewing levels. Many other things became part of the strike but it started about reduced crewing - guess what those reduced crewing levels are still in place. Also MF now exist and WW and EF are slowly withering on the vine. The only growth ( with the exception of the BMI influx) will be onto MF where T&Cs are massively reduced saving more than £60million a year. So ultimately BASSA did make the savings required - they did it by selling their future.
There are some clear lessons for SEPLA and IB in general, not least of which is not to get into a stupid and un-winnable contest with WW.
