You seem a somewhat bitter fellow for some reason as yet unexplained. I don't work for BA but I can see the possibility that if those at the top of the foodchain maintain their positions then there is a better chance that I might maintain my own somewhat lower position.
In terms of the strike fund - just how long do you think it will take before the large institutional investors have a complete sense of humour failure. I note the share price has roughly halved since May last year and it may also be worth noting that it has more or less steadily declined. Now I readily accept that generally shares have had a rough time but they haven't all steadily decreased at the rate of BA's. I'm no expert but I would imagine that a 2 week strike say will cause real damage to BA shares and make todays price look enormous.
Now WW has already taken a big gamble with T5 and lost, (granted he was taking a gamble with other people's cash - i.e. the shareholders) but do you really think those same shareholders are going to let him have another go?
I predict that WW and a significant portion of the leadership team will be walking into the sunset within 6 months at the outside. They will of course be well rewarded for their utter failure as is the British way, but walk they will and then there is a chance that BA can again become the airline icon that it once was. If I am wrong and WW and his team remain then the future looks bleak indead for shareholders and the staff.
I wish the BA Pilots and indeed all BA staff the very best for the future.
