Perfect news for Willie.
He now has the green light to take on the unions and sort out, as perceived by industry analysts, an overpaid, underperforming workforce when compared to others in the industry. I don't know what low cost carriers pay but allegedly, with VS crew on £15kpa and BA crew earning from £25-60kpa, there does appear to be an issue. As an analyst said on Radio 4 this morning, a strike costing £10-20m over Christmas will not be seen as a problem by investors...so long as the issues get dealt with once and for all.
