Are BA pilots really going to strike the Company into the dark ages?
Hopefully not. It won't be our decision though. That's for Willie and his mates to decide. Don't be too concerned as it won't last more than a couple of days before the City make him do a deal. Remember, the money is there (BA put it on the table on Friday) to give everyone, not just the pilots, a fair deal but BA are not interested. All they want to do is increase their bonuses at our expense.
Not sure if you've noticed that they've been feathering their nests over the last few days by dumping shares. Willie and Keith made just under £1.5million between them last week. If you check the latest financial press, five directors (including one who has a significant connection to NAPS) have dumped just over 1,300,000 shares at 487.5p each. My maths makes that an average of £1.25million
each. That's about the size of my overall pension pot when I retire.
The dark ages will be the least of their worries.
