Sorry Dave 3 but some ground staff at T5 gave up a months salary to help the company and I'm sure other areas did as well. The volunteers VOLUNTEERED to help out non striking Cabin Crew to keep the airline flying so in that context it doesn't mean it was free they would have received their normal salaries as they would have been working anyway but in this instance in the air and not on the ground.
We are all meant to be in the same company - therefore why should other parts of the airline meet the requirements to help out an ailing BA and not others who just cost it more money. BA IS NOT JUST SICK ITS TERMINAL and soon working for free is not going to help either.
