What WW does next…
There seems to be a number of posts recently where “flog ‘em and hang ‘em” or “feed ‘em to the sharks” seem to be the underlying sentiments.
I think we have to remember that there is a very large number of people watching… and one of the most, probably the most, interested group of stakeholders is the ‘sensible’ staff of BA, the CC who have not chosen to follow blindly the BASSA lead, yes, and also all the other staff groups, who collectively seem to have the long term interests of the Company at heart.
When this whole thing is over, the problem remains of rebuilding the Company so that it really is ‘One Team’, and can go on to do great things. There is no doubt that the removal of the militant tendency from the CC will facilitate that process; but the fact remains that there are deep wounds in the organisation. Everyone who chooses, or is chosen, to stay is going to have to make sure that their words and deeds reflect a new start, or the whole cancerous debacle will repeat itself. And then one will have to ask if the surgeon knew his task.
So WW Is constrained not only by the legality of his next moves, but also by the need to keep the other BA staff ‘on side’; and to do that, he must be seen to be fair and reasonable, however tough.
