* Openskies;
* Virgin passenger price fixing debacle;
* T5 disaster;
* Cargo price fixing fines;
* Fuel hedging too high;
* Not reacting to market conditions (i.e. not reducing surplus supply soon enough);
* Management redundancies which cost on average £100,000 per separated staff member;
* Continued management bonuses, when all other ranks have been asked to give back;
* A chairman who will receive his "unpaid leave" back as a bonus in 2011,
* Everytime BF sends out a letter to cabin crew this costs approx £2,500 a mailshot. This is well over what I earn in a good month.
All the above no doubt contributed to the mess BA are in. But how will going on strike address any part of that list in any way?
