Nobody likes the playground bully.
Seems to me that when an airline is as cavalier with the money its employees make for it (I mean £350 million in fines for price-fixing this year, how much in compensation because they can't open a new Terminal properly...whatever next?), it is always going to be difficult to advance an argument that employee wages are capping its profitability...unless, of course, by "employees", one means those "managers" responsible for the mess.
This strike derives its origin from an economic argument that, it would appear, no one on this site has had access to...because BA haven't released the figures.
Speaks volumes really.
