Too transparent

It would seem that this has been premeditated for a long time, and is not the "survival tactics" they would have us believe.

Many have been waiting for part-time and wondering why it has taken so long. A few days ago there was only PT for a small minority - now miraculously there is "Part-time for All".
Many have been waiting for Severance - and now there is a "best offer" (never to be seen again).
Transfers for all off existing lists - but never to be seen again.

This carrot that they know people are so desperate for, PT and severance, has been inextricably linked to the stick - and WW will effectively get all the things he wanted 2 years ago.

Very shrewd. Add to the melee the "must survive" pressure of 30 days to decide.

The ITV programme Tonight Pay Cut Britain showed how many companies have the will and the foresight to weather this storm AND look after their employees. Not so at BA. This absolutely stinks.
