An excellent post, MrB.
The relentless destruction of staff morale, and the wilful reduction of the service offered to customers in BA over the last several years makes one wonder if the process is not, as we want to believe, a result of the overall incompetence of the present management hierarchy, but actually a deliberate attempt to destroy the airline from within and then, perhaps, replace it with a new model run on absolute diktat.
What might they call this replacement...? Open Skies, perhaps! Note the potential ironies in the name.
This is the most cynical management I have ever seen, and the depth of that cynicism has yet to be tested. BALPA's resolve to expose this is a superb example of a profession standing together, and the results of its efforts will benefit every professional pilot.
P.S. 411 is a sick man - I ignore him too
