British Airways staff have already made many sacrifices which have saved the airline £1BILLION in 18 months
True,but too many seem to be acting as if BA now owes them something in return for this.The fact is,BA still has a lot of debt(4-5billion?)although it is starting to pay it off well.Despite that,BA's debt was down-rated recently by a credit-rating agency.More needs to be done
This does seem to be a labour v management debate with the cover of this new card system.Yes,BA is overstaffed in management but it takes time to sort it out(doesn't BA have an old dating agreement with unions(not sure which)that job losses must be through natural wastage etc?)
If not,then more needs to be done to remove the cappucino sippers in middle management.But belt tightening will still need to be done throughout the operation to make BA more slimline compared to others in this highly competitive market.
