Law is introduced by legislators to control the action of decision makers and avoid abuse in the interest of the public.
JRS is a scheme introduced to avoid abuse e.g. no Company should try to restructure during this temporary crisis, it would be highly unethical to restructure during JRS which is a scheme funded by the tax payers to save jobs until the crisis is over. Full stop. This was the intention behind JRS and BA is clearly ignoring the law hence this is an illegal and unethical act. The damage on staff morale and engagement is immense, I predict that the existing Senior Leadership will be removed, either by the Government or the workforce. Probably the Government will have to introduce and then use special powers if the BA Leadership will continue to refuse to attend very important meetings with the Transport Committee re. JRS and BA restructuring.
