There is no doubt some have succumbed to Stockholm syndrome, some are just tired and a good number just can’t afford to strike after the deductions the company made for just 1 days action.

I think partly what what we have seen is a improvements elsewhere and BA simply continued on its cost cutting modernisation drive.

Part of the problem is the disparity of pay at BA. A320 skipper basic 78k to 148k basic. When looking at pay how are the company comparing us to market rate with such a range. I don’t really want to be drawn much further on that because I have no fair solutions and sniping at the guys at the top is not a way forward.

I think fluffy nonsense is probably the best way to describe most of it.

A320 DEP is open, hopefully if BA get a black eye on that one with very few applications they will start to wake up. It’s the only thing that will make a difference I think.....is that going to happen? I doubt it, despite its wrongs, some people still want to come here and I understand why.

All the very best.......hopefully fluffy nonsense delivers
