Eddy,
I was enjoying your extremely lucid and well argued post...nice to hear a balanced view, until this bit:
I remind them that very, very few of their jobs require the same level of training they have had to undertake (off-the-job) as ours, and that helping BA this time around, though respectable, will undoubtedly come back to haunt them.
Oh dear, you maybe didn't mean it quite like that, but do you really think a few hours training would be enough to pick up the basics of -
-Revenue Management
-Financial planning
-Employee development
-IT network maintenance
-Developing brand positioning
-Purchasing negotiating
oh yes, and Engineering??
C'mon. Cabin crew is not the only rocket science in this great company.
