Why not get rid of another 100 or so middle managers.
BA are top heavy with managers.

If it has to be pilots then forget seniority and retire the over 55's who have their final salary pensions. (If BA can afford to pay the pensions)
The future of BA lies in the younger more dynamic pilots, but BALPA will never agree my course of action.

Terminal 5 "Ryanair - Globespan - Jet2" Long haul.

Unless BA can change significantly, in its working / union practices it may well go the way of Swissair and Sabena.
In the current climate (Economic) I cannot see the government affording to bail them out like Alitalia.
After all most of the family assets have been sold or are in hock.
Selling Heathrow slots may be their only way to survive.
