BA had it coming to them, and them and a few other companies better take note. No ground staff = no flights, its as simple as that. It appears the management at BA have completely misjudged the mood of their people. That is appalling management.
Sorry mate, but you don't know what you are talking about in this particular instance.
I had some involvement with the iARM programme a couple of years ago and can tell you that even that far out, there was extensive and serious consultation with ALL the affected unions at LHR and LGW. And it may surprise you to know just how many unions there are at LHR.
Hand Solo has already made some pertinent comments and as I'm 2 years out of date with BA, I shan't comment on the present - however the impact on cashflow and profitability of this action will hurt the airline badly at a difficult time.
