Miss Eweida and the cross saga

Now has anyone considered that this situation brought on by the arrogance of BA management, may have something to do with the banning of the Christian cross?

Please consider the timing, that the BA disaster follows immediately after Easter Sunday, the origin of the cross as a symbol of the suffering of the Son of God for the sins of humanity. The BA Disaster may well have higher origins.

Indeed the following Daily Mail quote shows the arrogant WW in all his glory when asked if he had any regrets over the handling of the Eweida situation;

Willie Walsh issued a defiant message in the face of a torrent of criticism from Archbishops and Cabinet Ministers over its ban on staff wearing the cross. The head of British Airways last night said he had "no regrets" over his handling of the Christian cross row.

He might be regretting it now, indeed as the volunteers dry up (cause they'll want the time off in lieu, TOIL as we call it at BA) and the chaos continues into the week, Willie Walsh will be needing all the help he can muster. Oh, if your reading Willie you might like to reverse the Christian Cross wearing decision.
