Perhaps Kirkwood and Noyes are leaving ba so that they can turn their undoubted skills to running 'Open Skies'?
That would be the dream win-win situation for BALPA!
They could withdraw the strike ballot, and watch from the sidelines as
Noise and
Deadwood performed the same management wizardry on OpenLies that made T5 such an outstanding success.
Twelve months would be my guess, with those two at OpenLies, before BA pulled the plug!
No, BALPA couldn't be that lucky.
