They have no protection whatsoever, just a promise from Bill Francis. And what if he goes sooner rather than later, which is quite likely considering his association with the way the dispute was run?


for clarity, for those unsure, any letter written by BF would not have any authority if he were not employed by British Airways in an appropriate role with the authority to make any concessions the letter may specify. The authority of the letter comes from British Airways and NOT BF.
So even if he were to leave (and he will at some point) the letter still stands.

What a great loop hole in the law of employing people that would be. Imagine if a company wanted to save money, just find the manager who authorised the last 5 years pay rises and dismiss him. Then claim his agreements with the staff didn't count and take back 5 years of terms and conditions.

Does anybody believe these playground rumours?

What's next? Signing Bills letter will get the bogeyman to chase you, serving hot towels will make your hands fall off, closing the blinds will make you blind.

This is the level of understanding and intelligence we are dealing with.

Back now to explaining the laws of trigonometry to my 8 year old.
