Cool

The job is aviation, part of the territory has been redundancy, layoffs, furloughs, liquidation. The counter staff were wrong to go on strike as they did, as this will be if the F/E's do. The company is doing it's best to survive and has made a business decision. It would be criticised if it did not. A lot of decisions are unpalatable and do affect peoples lives, but I do not believe that a strike is going to alter the decision taken and can only make things worse for the company and those still in it. The F/E's have in all likelehood had long remunerative carreers with BA, and knew it was coming to an end. The indications were that it would have lasted a bit longer, it didn't. Thats life.
