I've heard many times from our cabin crew they would rather the company go to the wall than take the 30% pay cut BA want.
Remember when Maggie was about to take on the miners? She ordered several months of coal to be stockpiled at power stations beforehand so that she couldn't be held to ransom.
Do you see any correlation between the events described in the above quotes?
