Any company can sack any worker any time it likes. In BA's case they stop paying them and remove their id and there is not much anyone can do about it. Several years down the line it may (or may not) be deemed to be illegal. That notwithstanding, am I missing something completely obvious - have BA not sent off an HR1 informing of 2000 compulsory redundancies. When they select those 2000, would it not be perfectly legal to sack the first 2000 to walk out?
