BA is in dire financial problems now due to years of mismanagement and poor financial decisions, not cabin crew Ts and Cs.

BA can slash cabin crew salaries and they'll still be losing millions a year and have billions of pounds pension deficit. That's when we'll see who's actually running BA into the ground. The poor management not BASSA or the cabin crew.

It's BA's lack of direction as it veers between full service and low cost never really satisfying anyone and bad management decisions like price fixing and canceling too many flights and now having the smallest economy long haul seat pitch that have forced customers away in their thousands. Why would anyone fly BA economy long haul when everyone else, even the charter airlines are providing loads more legroom and cheaper flights.

How much losses will BA managers be responsible for over the next two years, a billion pounds? Do people honestly think BASSA or the cabin crew are responsible for such a dire financial situation?
