Naturally all job losses should be voiced and are equally tragic !
Unites conduct through this has been shameful in comparison to Balpa; and I can only imagine crew in other airlines also going through the same restructuring are sick of hearing about BA crew. VS, EasyJet and even Jet2 have all seen cuts but we don’t see picketing and slots being threatened there.
Unites approach is entirely counter productive particularly around their insistence on reducing BA’s landing slots at LHR.
I feel this has the potential of increasing a divide between crew and other airline personnel.
