Having seen recent video clips of striking BA cabin crew abusing their working colleagues and using distasteful metaphors to denigrate the company's CEO, I'm not sure I would want to fly with the airline if it takes them back now. I would always wonder what cocktail of bodily fluids had been deposited into my food and drink during a flight by disgruntled and disaffected employees. Seems I’ll have to purchase snacks and drinks in the departure lounge to avoid this possibility for some time to come.
Mr Walsh has been out and about during the disruption and has seen for himself the "One Team" spirit generated by this dispute throughout the working communities. I would hope he and the company's Board think long and hard before welcoming the prodigals back. There can be little doubt without the striker’s corrosive influence the company has racked up its customer service ethos to levels not seen in the last decade. Why not aim high again for the title of "World's favourite airline."
