Not for the first time, I am stunned by views in this thread.
If any BA staff member thinks that BA's fortunes, its pilots' fortunes, and the rest of its staff's fortunes are not inextricably linked to the way LHR is run, BA is doomed.
The travelling public does NOT care what the contributory factors are that make travelling from LHR an experience never to be repeated. The place is a badly-managed s**t-hole, where they get delayed, badly-treated by staff, harried, bullied, and threatened when they dare to protest by ill-trained, ignorant people whose only concern is their right not to be treated the same way in return.
A strike by any group of BA staff simply makes all this 10 times worse, not just for BA's passengers if there are any. And that's why the two are linked and pilots should realise that.
And once again interpreter, who actually has to sell BA's products, has produced a post that everyone concerned should read carefully.
