Groundhand - I'm all up for a clear out, nothing like a good fire in the undergrowth to encourgage new shoots!
But there is that little thing known as our contracts to sort out, oh at any rate much of what you say has already happened at BA. Outsourcing much of non essential services, developing 2 tiered contracts for the workforce. I.e. new recruits on far worse terms and conditions than existing staff. (a terrible inequality)
Just read a great article on the BA BRAND -
LINK Some bloke called Kevin Murray a x - head of communications at BA (think brother of Ruby Murray). Article states how they think the BA brand could be damaged beyond repair.
But there may be enough 'goodwill in the tank' to see us through. So as some other posters have said, a strike by any unit at BA could see the end, we are gentlemen on the brink....... and with 2 sections of staff, the pilots and cabin crew rumbling away it looks ominous.
Doors to automatic!!!!!!!
