Diplome
PAXboy: With all due respect I believe your post arrives to a conclusion that may be based more on personal opinion rather than market driven actions.
Which is why I said that I have held this view for a long time and the overall destiny of BA has very little to do with this particular dispute. Certainly, their failure to manage their own staff is a key facet of their downfall but by no means the only.
I do not think that the satisfactory resolution of this dispute (which I anticipate soon) will make any
long term difference to their prospects. Yes, it will be 'Game On' for a while but companies rise and fall very slowly. I repeat that I do not say the above with any delight and do not work in the airline biz. I have worked in many varied fields of commerce and govt over the last 33 years (in multiple countries and for multinationals) and I am simply applying what I have seen everywhere else to BA. Perhaps they will buck the rest of the world and be the one that climbs back on top.
