The unions fear that Willie Walsh, BA’s chief executive, might use its OpenSkies operation as a Trojan Horse that would gradually take over other routes.
And, he absolutely should.
If present BA staff, who apparently have had it far too good for far too long, fail to understand, then change will come, whether they like it or not....and their is absolutely
nothing they can do about it.
BA pilots found out the hard way, I expect it is now time for the cabin crews to fall in line, or be shown the door.
And, don't give me all this happy horses**t about...'the customer service will suffer'.
Bring in new faces, presto, problem solved.
SQ, years ago, did the very same.
They signed CC to short term contracts, and rotated in new faces on a regular basis.
Time for BA to do the same.
WW is on the right track, make no mistake.
Staff will either comply, or can consider themselves...gone.
