Mr. Q. "Walsh is literally trying to turn the national airline of this country into Ryanair. Not only do we think the crew regard this as a step too far, but we are pretty sure most passengers do too."
The world has changed. Ryanair exists because the travelling public wants it to. But then again, its the travelling public you're punishing. Where on earth is the money coming from to turn around the losses that BA are making, how is the pension deficit going to be set right? In a heart beat the CC union has alienated it's members from the rest of the world. Have a look on other forums, see what the customers say. They are looking for other carriers, your true employers are deserting you in droves. The union is not part of the solution, but part of the problem, fuelled by management educating everyone into believing they are an elite. It's going to be a hard lesson to learn, but there is no elite in the airline world.
