No, our fight is with BA, who have just pressed the corporate self-destruct button. I hope those who enjoyed today's 20p a share rise have a decent dealing system and can get back out again quick, believe me, you are going to wish you had.

Forward bookings about to collapse, cash flow dry-up. BA have earned every penny of what's coming to them with their pensions lies, spin and deceit.

As to the poster who taunted me as a "comrade" - get a life. Re-read very one of the posts here and see why this has gone the way it has. I am no Socialist, Labour have stolen EVERY working persons dignity by destroying perhaps the most advanced and well-funded system of private pensions in the world.

No, I am fighting for the contract I signed and a shred of self-respect and decency at work. BA can demonstrably afford the compromise put to them by BALPA, but tie-less genius William W has other plans, mainly centered, it would seem, around his own enrichment at the expense of every employee of BA.

I swear that his attributed quote:

"Loyalty has no value"

will become the defining statement of how not to run a service business.

It will be quoted with glee by business schools for decades.
