Can someone please explain to me what the impending strike is about?
This has been building for over 20 years. In my time at BA we have been constantly told that below inflation pay deals and increases in work rate were essential to "save the company"....

At a regional base I was even offered a pay cut. Alongside all of this a continual cutting of terms and conditions and benefits down to ridiculous minutiae.

As my esteemed colleague Wiggy points out - the company has now been "saved" and billion pound profits are in (and forecast)....

It's payback time.
