BASSA represent their members.

They represent 10000 mostly LHR crew.

If those crew feel their views aren't being accurately represented by BASSA then they can make those feelings known or resign.

As nobody seems to be doing either, it can be assumed that that those 10000 agree with the BASSA leadership.

As BASSA have sent the 'story' to the national press the 'nothing to see here move on' call looks even less convincing.

Well done everybody. Well done.

Shall we take bets on when BASSA will try to kick things off again?

I give them 12 months.

Well here you all are again, scratching away at old wounds. While the BASSA leadership are clearly deranged and clinging to the past it does them no good for us all to join in! Adding weight to their lunatic drivel will not encourage them to start behaving rationally. Someone has to be a grown-up so rise above it people!

As for improving flight and cabin crew relations, stopping this nonsense of different hotels would help! I heard that in DXB the two hotels are opposite ends of the city; may have been okay in BOAC days but surely common sense would dictate that the team that plays together stays together!

The crew already stay in the same hotel in DXB, and pretty much every other destination. I can think of only one destination on long haul in which the hotels are different, and lets not forget that the reason for different hotels is that BASSA accepted a reduction in the quality of crew hotels as a cost saving measure some years ago. The pilots did not as BALPA consider decent downroute rest a higher priority.
