Sorry if it’s a silly question, can’t really find the details anywhere at this early stage.
I should really hope so. I wander if BA could honour our start dates and place us immediately on unpaid leave?

For those of us who have a family and mortgage to pay for and no prospect of returning to our previous employers this would be a lifesaver.
