The fact if the matter is that this isn’t just a BA issue. All over the UK millions of people are losing or are about to lose their jobs and life is about to become very difficult. Add to that the huge numbers of families who now have to adjust to a reduced income from temporary and permanent pay cuts in all forms of industry. People have their own issues to deal with, so I expect any public concern for BA employees plight will be limited at best.
