So talks tonight have broken down between various workforce sectors and BA management, I am not surprised, most of these people are on lowish salaries and so cannot make much of a sacrifice. The whole company has to ditch its past baggage, mostly its pension liabilities, and then move on. It has to happen throughout the UK, where currently 85% of the UKs GDP is needed to finance civil servants pension liabilitiies, so why should BA be any different. We need chapter 11 or the UK equivalent here in the UK.
Surely it is more important to have a job now and worry about the future later.
