I was sent this recording and it made fairly depressing listening. However, I suspect that had I been privy to a similar briefing from the Union reps of any other airline in Europe (or further afield) the general gist would have been pretty much the same. In a nutshell, we're burning cash. we've sold the family silver, we've touched all available credit, if something doesn't change next year, we're screwed. It ain't just Easy hanging by a thread.
