Ranger there is no scaremongering. Just look at what happened in the USA.
CB. If BA wants to reduce crew and shaft its reputation, that is up to them. I believe it is a false economy. BA in the past has had a better image and reputation for service than say VIRGIN, but if Walsh wants to dumb down BA to that level, then really I personally do not care. My only concern is that the health and welfare of crew are not affected and the service is rolled back accordingly.
Walsh's theory is that the "network" that BA and its OneWorld partners has, will trap passengers into flying with the alliance. Choice will be reduced and fares will go up. It is anti-competitve and passengers unlike other types of travel, will in the future face an ever decreasing standard of service and safety as minimum wage employees take over.
Pornpants/Timothy Claypole/PNS: Isn't it strange that here you are rooting for a BASSA loss in the court case, that is directly going to influence you and your job as a CSD in a negative way. It is a lose lose situation for you. I suppose if BASSA wins, you will be more than happy to reap the benefits of something you have tried your best to undermine.
Unbelievable.
