I am with those who would see BA go down rather than work for this management, largely a bunch of compulsive liars. Thieving our futures = the end of BA, plain and simple, if that is the way WW wants it. Better to live with dignity and re-train than to line the pockets of these money-grubbing cheats.
Those posters who think we are akin to slaves, with no choices but to take whatever BA deign to hand over are delusional.
WW has been offered a VERY fair compromise by BALPA, and he would be a fool not to take it. Pretty foolish not to examine the state of morale in his flight ops department too, but then, to a man to whom:
"Loyalty has no value",
I guess this will be unlikely.
That statement,attributed to WW, will, when the dust settles after all of this is over, resemble Mister Ratners' famous remarks to shareholders about the quality of his products.
I suggest that anyone who makes such a statement when running a service business in a competitive market place where, like it or not, the staff ARE the business, is so woefully misguided as to call in to question that individuals' suitability to run the business at all.
When all is said and done, I have a feeling that it may yet be WW who loses out of this and not the pilots. Never have I seen more anger or determination.
