That would be sensible if BA had been a successful, profitable airline forthe last decade, without the demands for change. The sad fact is that BA only cane out of the red after making the necessary changes.
In many ways BA is a bit like Alitalia - its employees wanting more (which anyone is entitled to ask for) but working in a business that simply cannot afford it.
One day, BA will go bankrupt like so many British companies, simply because its staff refuse to accept the reality that the world changes every single day and for many roles, it frankly doesnt take much education or skill to do the job and so people are easily replaceable.
