I'd rather be led by these reps than by WW himself, god knows where we'll all end up there.
If the rest of Waterworld and/or BA want to accept the deal(s) that were put in front of them then that's their choice. No-one in their right mind would accept a deal that wasn't fair and reasonable and comparible to what has been settled elsewhere in the airline.
And as for WW doing what he was told as a kid, shame he didn't follow some of it through to his adult lift, i.e. sit in a corner and only speak when spoken to ...
