I have a few questions about the real reason for the strike on both sides.

If BA is so desperate to save money, how is it that it can find money to train people to do extra jobs, ie CC, then can use staff from offices to call 1000īs of people to inform them of flight changes. Then the BIG one, how can they justify chartering 23 a/c (some with crew) just to break a strike?

The unions are also head in sands, they want to stay in power by flexing muscles. But I agree negotiation is the only way forward. Which side union/management is refusing or lying?

If this employee is telling the truth, (why wouldnīt she?), it does actually seem to be bullying and intimidation from both sides.
