Short and sweet there PPT!

From the BBC;

British Airways has told unions it is cutting 1,800 jobs by the end of the year.
The company said it aimed to achieve the "headcount reduction" through voluntary redundancies and natural wastage.

Engineers, cabin crew and customer services staff will be among those affected by the cutback.

Operating profits have nearly halved at British Airways, but the airline claims its strategy of focusing on high value customers is starting to pay-off.

BA recorded a pre-tax profit of £40m for the three months to June, compared to a £50m loss for the same quarter last year.

But this year's figure includes the £100m profit the company made when it sold its no-frills airline Go in June.

More soon.
