lets take a reality check here:
Cabin crew are essential for aircraft safety and the welfare of the passengers. But every other airline in the UK seems to be able to crew thier aircraft with competent guys and girls. None with the exception of BA pay such ludicrous salaries such as £39K plus allowances.
BA is in big trouble, it needs to shed the people from top manegment down to CSDs on silly salaries and wake up to the real world of competition!
It also needs to shed its arrogance, the amount of guys in BA that i have heard refer to any deal with KLM as a takeover!! Get real guys!! KLM lost £10m in the last quarter, have a very strong alliance with Northwest and are very cash rich. BA? 160m loss, 5 odd billion debts?? Yes BA and KLM need each other, but without the dead wood.
STANDING BY FOR INCOMING!!:-)
