What a pity to see a great airline embroiled in so much dispute. I recall the TAP had a similar problem some years ago. One evening (at midnight if I recall) they closed the company and re-opened in the morning as Air Portugal with everyone needing to reapply for their jobs. Good bye union problems!
WW has a mandate from his board to make a profit. He has to be hard on any threats from their (overpaid) CC. More power to him. Unfortunately as a regular longhaul traveller - with no ID90 benefits despite 30 years in the industry - I have moved all my bookings to Emirates. I bet there are many like me despite our loyalty to the flag carrier (sorry Richard Branson but BA are still the UK flag carrier
).
Let's hope WW fires the problem people and get's the airline back on track quickly.
