At the end of the day, the pilots in BA have got away with murder. It was a "sweetheart" deal.
Walsh wanted to get the pilots out of the way quickly to put pressure on the other employee groups. The same deal is not being offered.
Currently Cranebank is bursting with temporary cabin crew, some called back on three month contracts. Why? Is Mr Walsh so certain that there shortly will be a dispute because he is going to engineer it? Surely jaw jaw is better than war war?
Some full time crew have had their SEP checks brought forward from September to July, 'because Cranebank will be full of new recruits in September'.
Mr Walsh is set on breaking the unions in BA, it is nothing to do with saving money. If there is a strike, it will be down to him and his intransigence
