A very reasoned posting GS-Alpha and completely agree.
The city understands perfectly
Of course they do. They were pre advised that the company would be using the 'fight for survival' mantra to fight the cabin crew, hence no knee jerk reaction to the share price.
I read somewhere that IAG have €550m set aside
Of course they have, but isn't this a 'fight for survival?
BA's cabin crew had no chance of winning either
Mmmm..depends what you mean. If you meant reaching an honourable agreement then that's exactly what they reached after 2 years - contractual guarantee going forward, protecting them from mixfleet. As for 'winning', did the company?
By extension, any work group (including the BA pilots) that attempts to hang on to wildly above market rate terms and conditions going forwards, will have similar demands made of them
Absolutely
However, gone are the days of unions holding companies to ransom
Totally agree
