BA might not be the good guys, at the moment, but they certainly are not the bad boys.
Everybody is currently jumping all over this press report that 10000 are going to be made redundant, well I've got news for everyone, no-one knows what is going to happen yet. Admitedly, managment are looking at loads of options, from shutting everything down to doing nothing.
What did RB do as soon as everything kicked off, laid people off, including pilots.
The guy is just a self publicist who hides his failings behind bravado. He realises that he will never make money flying airplanes, and wants to beat down everyone that can do a better job than him, would we still see his planes flying if Singapore hadn't helped him out?
He managed to get slots from LHR for all his services didn't he so why bleat like a lamb about BA holding slots. I bet he wouldn't give his up without a fight!!
Lets give up on the BA bashing for a while eh? and wait to see what they have in store after Christmas, then we can go on facts not speculation.
