Confused by BA's claim as to how much impact cabin crew's industrial action is having?
Then watch this clip from Sky news yesterday (Sunday) evening and allow them to explain exactly how the numbers are being inflated by the use of code share and "wet leased" services.
Remember this also does not identify the empty aircraft flights known as "freighters" which are believed to be a further third or more of departing flights.
More wondereful spin from Unite.
Don't they realise that BA has a contract with its customers to get them to their destination by any means possible.
The fact that the company uses diverse methods and ensures that aircraft positioning out to be in place at the end of the Unite spat have revenue generating cargo onboard shows initiative not desperation.
By embarking upon this contingency plan BA are at least ensuring that passengers remain mildly confident about booking with BA in the future. Something that is obviously at odds with Unites view that the strike would cripple the carrier. Sorry Len, but we are not back in your beloved militant 70's yet. Now where is your mate Derek Hatton?
