Smile BA Annual Meeting Live

From the Daily Telegraph website covering the BA AGM live

BA annual meeting live: striking cabin crew, air taxes, Iberia merger - Telegraph

11.25am ... Broughton gets the boot in

First up is Martin Broughton, the Chelsea supporting chairman who doubles up with a job at Liverpool FC. He wastes no time going in two-footed at Bassa - the militant wing of the Unite union that represents the cabin crew.

"They have misrepresented management to their members. They have misrepresented their members' views to management," he says. "The board's patience with Bassa has now been exhausted. "We will win the right to manage."

Walsh's round robin

Willie Walsh, the BA chief executive, picks up the theme, aruing that the airline has made the crew an offer that provides "a genuine opportunity to end this dispute".


IMHO this is good news and shows how the board is firmly behind Willie Walsh's actions
