Why

El Grifo, You're so right! There are a lot of issues that hit the nerve of CC.

What I don't understand is why the union is not giving straight answers to the questions on that press conference. To get more understanding of the public they could have at least layed out the exact issues that Unite have.
In example the fact that the middle management of BA is made up with some ex-Tesco and ex-Sainsburys floor managers who think they can run In-flight management and consequently impose impossible measures to cut cost. In fact they haven't got a clue what goes on once the doors close and the aircraft pushes back and all they think of is reducing service to their paying passengers. Those same managers who actually at the company's expense travel to the hotels all around the world where BA crew stay to try to intimidate them to accept their terms without consulting them. Ground managers of cabin crew who haven't got a clue what they are talking about and consequently are useless if you have a problem related to in-flight services....

Why does nobody speak up and tell the paying passengers what the real issues are?
