I am a shareholder in BA and I for one would vote that the idiotic and petty management who have destroyed the reputation of BA over the last 5 years would be out the door before any of the 12,000 mentioned above. Unfortunately reality isn't on my side. I suspect however that as with most of the airlines right now they are going to take as much advantage of this situation as they can get away with, but despite the sabre rattling, actual pilot redundancies will be much lower than the figures originally quoted. Not insignificant for those individuals involved obviously. My heart goes out to the legacy cabin crew, of which I have a personal friend affected, this has been a long time coming and BA will count getting rid of that contract alone as a victory, as petty as that is. The damage to company morale will far outweigh the failed strikes of the past and I believe it will be a much different company in the future. Good look all next week.
