Irrelevant who I am - this is an anonymous bulletin board precisely as it is the only means of permitting free speech (within the rules set by the moderators).

Don't try to change the topic - the point was that quite a few people actually want the airline to survive, so that it can pay them a salary in the future.

I wrote, as the BBC headlined, that "Actually, Virginia, BBC News reports the following: "Almost 7,000 British Airways staff have applied for voluntary pay cuts".

BBC's now-published full report - 800 people work for nothing, Another 4,000 workers are taking unpaid leave for varying amounts of time, while 1,400 people have volunteered to work part-time.

That is 6,200 people who are volunteering for voluntary pay cuts of some sort or another. I never said "working for free".


A plain example of someone taking "facts" in part and using them to distort the argument...
