Nutloose I think you are only too right, at best it will result in redundancies, at worst it could spell the end of BA. How many people will now avoid BA for future travel arrangements?
All it needs is for a rival operator to offer similar flights at the price people had paid at BA and the public would flock to them.....
If this strike happens, the papers are reporting it may cost around £300M, ontop of the £292M already lost in the first 6 months leaves a loss of £592M. Can ANY airline afford this type of loss??
