In the fog of war truth is the first casualty. Don't forget that Bassa/UNITE have at their disposal the finest example of the black art of propaganda namely Charlie Whelan. Mind you what he knows about aviation will not add up to a row of beans but heh does that matter to idealogues such as him.
I'm sure that a number of the departures from T5 were only carrying freight BUT the important point is that there would be a CC complement on board to operate the return as well as keep aircraft rotations as close to the programme for a full bounce back on Tuesday.
I have just heard an interview with an investor from Schroeders who are one of the biggest holders of BA stock. No panic there. As far as they are concerned BA needs to get its operating costs down and the current actions by the airline have their support.
