Paxboy I wont trade backgrounds with you.......suffice to say that I have been around a bit too.........rather longer than you!
Your point is what exactly?
When confronted with bullying incompetent and divisive management you just roll over and say "Come on Guys do it to us all over again"
One either has principles that one is prepared to fight for or one does not.
BA have a history of responding to industrial persuasion with a modicum of pragmatism and signs are that they'll do the same this time. So I do not agree with your pessimism
