This is just a taste of whats to come Willie! Grin and bear it. You have been instrumental in this happening - maybe even constructing the basis for the walk-out... Rumours going round (for some time now) that there is enough cash 'in the bank' for times such as these, to see BA through - just. The idea of shutting down the company - temporarily - then restarting with a clean sheet, including contracts, Ts and Cs... Does it sound too fanciful?
Just a quick question, was it not around this time (strike action iminent) while at EI that Willies future there began to look bleak and he was on his merry way over the water to 'Waterworld'?
Strike action will cause serious damage to the BA image, and will only benefit other carriers. What must Mr Bishop and Mr Branson be thinking tonight... Christmas come early!
Its time BA got a proper managerial team in place. From the top down through the ranks. Aviation isnt a game. It takes years to build up customer trust, customer satisfaction and make money - money thats hard to come by with so much competition. If the current 'management' cant sort out the mess then get a team in who can. This has been brewing for some time. Bit late to call for talks once the ballot has been announced - 96.1%! Thats not an ill conceived majority. Thats a statement that almost all cabin crew who voted have NO FAITH in Willie or his team. Mind you, most of the ground staff feel the same, so lets see how the GMB ballot turns out for the ground staff industrial action...
PS -- Dont shoot me. Just passing on some info as this is a Rumour and News Forum
