True, but the fact can't be ingnored that the company still has a bunch of 787 and A380 aircraft on order which, according to Willy, are fully financed and required.
Wonder who will be flying those if BA sack a bunch of pilots?
BA are not 'flush' at the moment with pilots and the 2-5% easing is giving flight ops a breathing space. Monthly flying for LH is still nudging legal max limits and SH isn't far behind.
However, odder things have happened, we will find out in the fullness of time.
