"As one of IB's reps confessed to SEPLA's leader(Justo Peral), "i was ordered to NOT reach an agreement,no matter what".
This whole deal is orchestrated as an unfriendly take-over,with union busting strategies that have been tried and proven in the US for decades.
Take no prisoners,show no mercy,divide,darken the results,throw the money into the effort like you didn't care."
Well its deja vu all over again. As you can see Aporrizaje, as in the BA cabin crew dispute, it was not about saving money.
But you are right to cast aspersions on the rather lukewarm support SEPLA has received from BALPA, and further proof from the lackies posting here that BA pilots are still in Walsh's pocket. That is of course until he turns on them, which he will do. Then the screeching, wailing and gnashing of teeth will begin, and I for one will sit back and enjoy the show.
