To use your own words, what you idiots fail to understand is that the cabin crew community are not a charity supported by the voluntary benevolence of the city. The city owe nothing to any member of the cabin crew who flies with BA. And indeed, amazing eh, but an airline is a business.

That's right. BA is a business. And 'the city' are business people. And I can guarantee that they detest the sort of outdated workplace practices and union interference that erode profitability. Yes, BA will take a hit on this strike. But that will be a one off exceptional cost in return for permanent improvements in earnings. That's why the city are on, and will remain on Willie Walsh's side.
