One thing is however for certain, as part of a large publicly quoted organisation that will be suffering severe cash flow issues, and a responsibility to their shareholders to maximise profits, or in the current situation, minimise losses they'll be forced to make some very unpalatable decisions to preserve their business in the medium term, to ensure that there will be a business and employment for people in the longer term.
I feel for anyone working in any part of the travel and tourism industry at present, but looking at the situation you've got to say that some job, on a lower salary with possibly worse conditions is, to a point, better than no job at all.
I am a long standing BA employee
So to dismiss 42 , 0000 staff , make redundant 12 , 000 staff and re employ 30 ,000 on the worst terms and conditions possible ( makes Mike Ashley look like a reasonable employer) is better than no job ?
BA are using this situation to their advantage to completely re structure the airline and its subsidiaries to an all time low
There won’t be a BA that you know or recognize I am afraid with most staff on zero hours and just above the minium wage
