So should I fly BA?
No I am not Cabin Crew so apologies for commenting on this thread, but as a fan of BA and as paying customer it worries me greatly.
You guys do a great job, I travel BA because I like the service, but these days you are not alone. Full service or no frills there's plenty of choice. Can BA carry on losing £2.5M per week, no. Will customers go elsewhere if talks of strikes hit the papers, yes.
My industry engineering, struggling with the rest through recession, 30 of our 130 staff laid of so far. All are struggling to find work with 30 or so chasing any job advertised.
If you think no one will work the new fleet, or if thats what your being told, think again, suspect they will be queuing round the block.
Yes or course you want to keep the status quo, and yes you should try to get the best, but be realistic times are more than hard.
So as someone who likes all that BA offers I hope you find a way through this without destroying what you have, and also without letting strike punish the rest of us relying on you for hard won holidays.
