People keep saying the company is "begging" staff to work for free. I didn't read the email that way. It was one sentence at the end of an email, saying that if anyone's interested, it may be considered.
What's the difference now and previous occasions where we've been asked to volunteer to work in the terminals during disruption?
I don't think it was necessarily a clever thing to put it in the email in the first place, but this has been blown out of all proportion.
PiB, I had a read of that link you posted, and the article has some statements in there that aren't true.
