In the British Army, up until a few years ago, the first response to a mutiny was to sack, punish, or otherwise deal with the mutinous unit's officers, on the certain grounds that it was their fault.
Now, while we can all say with total truth that what BA has is a bunch of whingeing, overpaid Nigels cynically using their muscle to screw BA for more than they are worth by making hundreds of thousands of their customers (aka "salary payers") suffer, the blame for allowing the situation to get this far lies fairly and squarely in the IAG boardroom, who evidently have no clue about how to deal effectively with the said Nigels, who seem unable to understand that profits, just like losses, are for shareholders (aka "investors taking risks") to share, as opposed to Directors and other employees whose share of the gross profits is called "remuneration". Mind you, the Directors don't seem to understand that either.
