Well done, Willie Walsh, for showing that he has the resolve to sort out this infernal mess.
Well done, BA non-CC staff, for calling potential strikers' bluff and offering to keep the company flying.
Someone quoted Tennyson earlier on this thread. I think that this is very apposite right now:
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Now we need to see who will blink first; my money is on the unions.
