I dont agree with strikes, never have done, a throw back to the 70s.
But...as little as 2 years ago this company posted 600m profits. previous yrs posted avergave 300 m per yr.
Current crisis caused by bankers/goverment - BA lose premium traffic, and yet again the little person is expected to pay. Bit of a tenous link, but effectively that is whats happened (in my laymans eyes).
Now due to banks/brown balls up the little man has to pay (again), reduction in salary, from a company that 2 yrs ago had record profits.
I do have sympathy from anyone that stands to lose money.
If they went under I seriously doubt the Mandy would let it, not just the BA staff out of work, but literially 1000s of secondary jobs that serve BA.
Not a good situation for anyone to be in - when the Loco's rule the world we shall see how good things used to be!
