Press coverage

Seems the press down in GIB have got hold of this story - and used this forum for its quotes!! (q.v. rumour mill!). www.panorama.gi, click thru to "last weeks headlines" (21st Dec). Two different stories, one about pilots threatening action and the other about the future of GB.. Also the front page of the printed newspaper on 21st Dec was entirely dedicated to this story. Full page pic of a GB 320 departing in front of the rock and the headline "Changes in the air as GB Airways pilots threaten strike".

Also heard from a couple of drivers (who are being laid off) the company offered them the basic one week for every complete year as redundancy - or two weeks per year if they sign their life away and promise not to go to an industrial tribunal! Shallow or scared?!
