There must be some funds still available.
Well if there are BAI (and it is a mighty big IF, and it is probably borrowed money any way) why should it be frittered on the grossly inflated costs of the most intransigent staff group?
BA CC do NOT have a God given right to their cushy lifestyle, they have to EARN their money, just like everyone else in the industry. Bleating on about resisting imposition just because it is imposition will convince no-one.
Frankly, if BA do go down the imposition route, which I think they will, be thankful that their proposed efficiencies are so modest. The alternative is a place on the dole queue with precious few marketable skills.
