Donkey497,
I'm with you all the way, the UK & the worldwide aviation industry do not need BA at all, pity is that a great many BA Staff at all levels can not get this into their heads.
Where as I am very lucky to live, BA stopped operating here many years ago. This is not at all a problem as we have our own world class national carrier, complete with the new `Cuddle Class` seating & the CEO is seen in the body painted buff loading baggage in our adverts.
The people who will suffer whatever the outcome of the present BA farce, are the long suffering pax who remained loyal & those sensible & honourable BA Staff whose voice is just not heard.
