ba.husband re SOSR
I suggest you go and re-read the news from Aer Lingus just yesterday (
Aer Lingus to impose 230 compulsory lay-offs | BreakingNews.ie). It may be painful for all but it can (and just has) been done.
I really, really hope BA doesn't go that route, but it does have that option. it would be very naive to dismiss the option.
