The BA Long haul Fleets are carrying not a lot of pax ATM and there's stuff all sign of a major recovery, particularly on the highly important North Atlantic.
Load factors on Short haul flights can be missleading since most routes are running at reduced daily frequency. In addition HMG's actions over the weekend will not have help passenger confidence and forward bookings.
Given the above surely even the most pro-Union, least receptive to the management POV individual must realise that BA, like pretty much any airline not offered state aid, is actually in a genuine "fight for survival"
?
UNITE/BASSA have did not help themselves by not engaging with the company but here we go again, crunch time and..it's all BA's fault.
Sounds like a bit of a case of if in doubt fall back on using the only tool in the toolbox you are used to using, regardless of whether it's an appropriate device or not.
Good luck using the hammer but watch you don't hit your thumb.
