pilots should become shareholders
Hello, maybe I'm missing something(just a self-employed manual worker the last 30 years)
Why, oh why, have the BA "coalface" crew not bought huge tranches of BA shares?...their voting -power could surely be vested in a mutual holding company.
that way, you'd have savings invested for a rainy day.
you'd have a real voice in the running of BA
Part of BA's profits would return directly to you (to buy more shares?)
you'd have much better control of your own destiny
the company's success would be YOUR success.
This model works fine for the JOHN LEWIS PARTNERSHIP...a department -store group which is wholly owned by those employed by it.
I realise this is not an"instant" solution,but it seems likely that BA will collapse under the weight of it's own corporate arrogance (or are the Fat-Cats just scooping off the cream,before abandoning the leaking ship?)
Drastic and unorthodox, I know, but there appears to be a lot of brand-loyalty (stretched to the breaking-point of many punters).
If you have faith, become a shareholder. Otherwise, continue to be badly -used or find a better employer.
