Whilst I sympathise with the BA crews going on strike just isn't going to work.
Over the last few years and especially last year, the Gate Gourmet strike damaged BA's reputation, but it's been strong enough to take the hits and stand back up. If the Pilots then the cabin crew...then the engineers all go on strike then I’m afraid things will really go tits up. The Pilots get what they want the cabin crew will think they can get what they want same with the engineers. The BA rep will be in tatters.
The new joiners in BA have signed onto a crap pension scheme- do you expect to see them on the picket lines after the senior guys stood back and watched the new joiners retirement hope being thrown down the drain? As more join the old guard will get weaker.
Walsh isn't a push over, he won't sit at home counting the piggy bank trying to find extra to put in pension funds; he'll be working on some new business plans.
Good Luck....us in easy will be watching, maybe from the picket lines at Luton!
