Many of us understand the economic impact of this lockdown and the effect on airlines but this is complete opportunism by BA. No one will want to work for this company again if this morally bancrupt bunch of directors get their way. No one. When the economy picks up again and new airlines spring up there will be a mass exodus of highly qualified personel of all grades jumping ship. BA will be a shell of its former glory. Nice one Mt Walsh, well done.
The first airline to start recruiting will be inundated with applicants - pretty much regardless of who they are or how far they expect you to bend over.
