mad timing
it seems mad to antagonise the unions a week before Xmas when fares are three or four times what they are in January. One out all out time, or work to rule, or call sickies or whatever the ground handlers are planning even now? This would be more poor publicity for BA.
You'd think all those clever managers could have arranged it that this fella received his dismissal news Jan 5th or sometime when traffic is down to a winter low!
