I understand what you say, although British Airways has manufactured its own downfall by successively leading Price Wars year after year after year ever since privatisation. The glorious years of "World Offers" and "Winter Warmers" have bitten us in the bum!

What I also cannot understand is how the Government can stand idly by, and watch the Unions being deliberately provoked in this way, in order to start an all out war! Bearing in mind "Labour" still gets more than a small part of its funding from the Trades Unions, if Unite and GMB lose 40,000 odd members, there will be quite a hole in Labour's purse!

Bealine, I am aware there are hardly any dodgy practices on the ground anymore.
Are there "Restrictive Agreements" among our crews then (that aren't CAA / FAA driven)? I don't think there are any more.
